Homeschooling Part 2: You Can't Mess This Up (Ep 24)

<p>In Part 1, we told you the truth about how we started homeschooling, and how much we got wrong before we got it right. In Part 2, Daniel and I sit down to answer the questions we hear most, the ones that keep good parents up at night.<br /></p><p>What about college? What about socialization? What if my child falls behind? What if my spouse isn't on board? We take them one at a time, honestly, from inside a home that has raised children from a six-year-old all the way up to married adults running their own businesses.<br /></p><p>Here is the heart of it: you cannot mess this up. Spending your days with your children is never wasted time. Education is your God-given responsibility, and no one is more qualified to steward your child's heart than you.<br /></p><p><b>In this episode:</b></p><ul><li>Why "you can't homeschool badly" is closer to the truth than you think</li><li>The friend who taught six children for a year with nothing but paper, pens, and a Bible, and off-the-charts test scores</li><li>What our school day actually looks like (most bookwork is done by 10 a.m.)</li><li>The curriculum and audiobooks our children love, from Masterbooks to Chuck Black's Kingdom series</li><li>How making dinner, running a market booth, and digging a pond all count as school</li><li>What to do when your husband or wife is not convinced yet</li><li>The real goal: raising adults who can hear God's voice, not building a transcript<br /></li></ul><p>"I don't care if they know Latin. I care that they can hear God's voice." <br /><br />That is the goal. Faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13).<br /></p><p>If this encourages you, share it with a friend who needs permission to begin.<br /></p><p>Want to go deeper with us?
