64. Topics with Timmy: Big Homeschool Mistake 1
05/29/24 • 8 min
In this episode, host Timmy Eaton discusses a common mistake made by new homeschool families. People just starting the homeschool journey want someone to tell them exactly what to do and what to get. And that's backwards, because you started homeschooling so that you could increase freedom and flexibility and customize your learning and lifestyle. The better way is to establish your purposes, priorities, and goals and then customize a plan that suits your situation. HELP, home education and lifestyle principles, is a process Timmy uses with homeschool families, and it is the most effective way to help them develop their own plan. When homeschool families implement the principles of HELP, they learn and live the way they desire, and homeschooling becomes much more enjoyable and fulfilling.
