Summary

The Circle with Sarah Retreat begins August 2nd. Join us!

If you’re a homeschooling mom, chances are good that you’re familiar with Sally Clarkson. She is one of the most beloved names in homeschooling worldwide, and it’s no wonder why.

She homeschooled her own four kids to adulthood and has been writing and encouraging homeschool moms for decades. She also happens to be one of our most frequently requested guests here at Read-Aloud Revival.

So we have a treat for you today!

A few years back, Sally Clarkson joined us in RAR Premium and shared the advice she wished she could have given to her younger self. With the gifts of hindsight and experience, she tells us what she would have said if she could rewind the clock and whisper a few sage words to her younger self. She even broke it down into the advice she wishes she’d had at different phases of parenting and homeschooling!

Now we’re sharing her valuable wisdom with all of you.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why you and your unique gifts and skills are the most essential part of your homeschool
The key to a successful homeschool experience (hint: it’s all about you, mama!)
How to cultivate trusting, open relationships with your teenagers that will get them through the hard times
