Summary

Homeschooling changes when you transition into the scary world of teenagers, so today I want to discuss teens in general and what you can expect from a homeschool with teenagers.

After home births, breastfeeding, babywearing, cosleeping, and having a wonderfully close relationship with her young children, Julie thought that she would seamlessly move into the teen years and escape all of the weirdness that other families talk about. Their family was so tuned in, so it was going to be different.

Then Julie had a rude awakening!

But even if there are difficult and distant moments, hold onto the memories of when you were close and know that you will be close again – you just have to weather the storm.

0:55.0

Too often we're hands off with writing and we don't realize that we could release power in our children's experience of writing if we understood how to partner with them, how to help them, how to help them experience their own writing voices.
