Listen "EP 54: Homeschooling: How I Gave My Son the Gift of Freedom"
Episode Synopsis
Friends, in this solo episode I'm getting vulnerable and sharing what's been happening with my son and our recent decision to pull him out of school to homeschool. I discuss the health issues he's been facing, vomiting daily with no identifiable cause, and how we eventually realized it seems to stem from anxiety related to the school environment. I talk about why we decided homeschooling is the best path forward right now - to help him regain confidence, settle his nervous system, and discover his interests outside of traditional school. I share my approach to facilitating his learning rather than recreating a classroom at home. While uncertain how it will unfold, I'm excited to nurture his self-directed curiosity and expose him to learning from daily life. Ultimately, this ties into my broader message of living life on your own terms. I aim to model freedom for my children, creating space to thrive as individuals. If you're a fellow homeschooling parent, I welcome your tips and encouragement as we embark on this journey. To me, freedom means allowing my kids to learn in the best way for them.
