16. When They’re Ready
In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Audrey and Carl Gutke from Texas. In this conversation, we are reminded about how intimidating and overwhelming it can be to start homeschooling. Most people start homeschooling by trying to do things like they are done in the schools, but then they slowly become more comfortable with their own style and they adjust and evolve. The Gutke’s love the flexibility and the freedom that homeschooling fosters, and that their children are motivated to learn and pursue their personal interests. They also enjoy observing their children strengthening relationships with one another and the positive culture in their home. In this episode, we learn about the benefits of mentorship and apprenticing, empowering children to make their own decisions, and why it is crucial for us to be grateful and positive. When it comes to preparation for postsecondary studies, the Gutke’s emphasize the importance of children loving to learn and read.

18. Building Family Culture
In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Leslie and Matt Call from Texas. In this discussion, we talk about a range of topics including dyslexia, mental health for both our children and ourselves as homeschool parents, preparing for postsecondary studies and career, and building family culture around basketball, God, and playing in a family rock band. We grappled together about the tension between not becoming unduly concerned about our children finishing a project or studying a subject they’re not interested in, and helping them do and complete challenging things that stretch them beyond their comfort zones in preparation for future learning and potential career paths. Listeners will enjoy the friendly banter and reminiscing among old friends.
