Summary

The pressure is off! If your homeschool days have become overrun with stress and pressure to do all things perfectly, this episode is for you. My friend, Julie, has been homeschooling her large family for over a decade, and she loves helping moms free themselves from the pressures of homeschooling by embracing delight directed learning. Not only does this approach free moms to thrive in homeschooling, it liberates our children too. I hope our conversation about the beauty of delight directed learning inspires you as you steward your child’s education.

In this episode, we cover:

How delight directed learning differs from other educational approaches
Recognizing and stewarding each individual child’s gifts
Where boundaries come into play with delight directed learning
Stepping back to examine our expectations about our child’s education
An example of a day in the life of a delight directed homeschool
Rejecting rigid schedules to cultivate lifelong learners
Examining the cause of burnout and overcoming it
The power of keeping lessons short
Taking the pressure off by recognizing that each child learns at his own pace
Creating an atmosphere in your home that celebrates learning
How taking a hands-off approach can inspire your child to continue self-learning
Navigating clutter in your schedule and household
How do you know if it’s time for a change or time to quit?

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today, I'm going to be chatting with a real-life friend of mine.
0:08.2	Mother of 10, homeschooler, since her oldest was, you know, starting school,
0:14.4	Julie Crakey. They have a channel called The Crakey Family or Jason and Julie, I think they call it now.
0:20.5	And she also has a homeschool website. She has really taken a lot of moms under her wing and teaching them
0:27.5	new mothers who are wanting to homeschool about homeschooling or just to encourage moms who are in the thick of it.
0:33.6	I like her approach because it feels doable. She's a mom who has done it. She's had every age
0:41.4	all the way from she still has a young baby up to kids who are in high school and so we can always
0:47.8	learn from somebody in that position and she's done a beautiful job of it. She also has a
0:52.2	homestead so she fits right in here with the Simple Farmhouse Life crowd. I can't believe I haven't
0:56.5	gotten her on yet but obviously she's busy so let's dive in. My name is Lisa, mother of seven
1:03.6	and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone. Join me as I share with you my love
1:08.8	for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way.
1:14.1	Hey Julie, thank you so much for joining me. I was just doing a little introduction and saying like
1:25.3	I'm bringing on my real life friend this time to talk about homeschool. I have a lot of people who
1:30.5	haven't actually met in real life. I mean we feel like friends afterwards but Julie is actually
1:35.6	local to me. They are the family that whenever I shared on my YouTube channel and on here that our
1:40.8	cow is about to have a calf which or no she had a calf. We didn't know she was and they came
1:46.2	over and helped us build a milk extension like right that day so we could milk her. So yep, yes.
1:52.9	We know all about trying to scramble and do things when they need to be done instead of
1:57.9	planning ahead because life happens. Yeah they do. It does and you know she just had her second calf
2:03.5	and so now we are getting like crazy amounts of milk. I just did my first hopefully what turns out
2:10.3	to be like a hard cheese wheel today which I've been wanting to do forever and that's exciting.
