EP238: This episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast was created to encourage you as a homeschooling parent to teach your child, not a grade.For some homeschoolers, starting a new grade each fall is part of their yearly rhythm. For others, sometimes it's hard to even assign a grade to their child. Either way, your child's learning doesn't just happen magically in tidy grade-level packages. Rather, it happens along a path that sometimes spirals backwards or follows detours or even skips ahead.When we teach the child in front of us rather than a grade level or curriculum package, we honor the child's learning journey. Children learn best when they can take confident steps on the path to learning while feeling a calm sense of connection.The holistic, natural approach of Waldorf homeschooling truly shines in this way and supports each child's unique development.Teaching your child, not a grade, is a subtle mindset shift that can make all the difference!If you would like more guidance on bringing this kind of flexible, child-focused rhythm to your homeschool, come join me inside the Inspired at Home community where you'll find monthly masterclasses, coaching calls with me, and a warm community to remind you you're not alone on this journey and to help you customize whatever curriculum you have.Join the Inspired at Home community https://artofhomeschooling.com/inspiredathome Find the Show Notes here  https://artofhomeschooling.com/episode238/Send Jean a text message.
