Summary

I talk to moms all the time and the most frequent concern/misconception is that they are not "qualified" to teach their children. It doesn't seem to matter if they have a degree or dropped out of high school, they share this same fear. Today I'm going to help dispel that myth so you can homeschool with more confidence! This is the third in my new series called The Homeschool Life! Each week I address one commonly asked question or topic on homeschooling based on 25 years experience homeschooling 8 kids from the beginning (7 are graduated so far)! These podcasts will be shorter in length, perfect for busy moms! (Check out The Unhurried Homeschooler on Amazon today!) Podcasts mentioned: The Homeschool Life: The Powerful Gift of Childhood How to Start a Small Co-op Because every parent wonders if they are going to ruin their kids, here is our adult kids' perspective on homeschooling: Podcast #'s 60, 62, 63, 64, 66, 68 (Each podcast number is linked to that particular post)

0:00.0	Hey, moms, welcome to this week's podcast. I'm Durenda Wilson, wife to one, mom to eight,
0:16.4	Nana to six, and 25-year veteran homeschooling mom. I'm excited because today I am doing the third in my
0:25.0	series called The Homestchool Life. This is a series that I created where I tackle one
0:30.4	question, just one question in 15 to 20 minutes that I'm commonly asked. You know, a lot of times when a mom asked me a question,
0:41.9	it's a question I've heard before, but there are some that really get asked over and over and
0:47.0	over again. And so I want to address each of those one at a time because I like to sort of like
0:52.4	tear them apart a little bit and really dive in.
0:56.1	And so if I just take one thing and spend 15 to 20 minutes on it, I'm able to do that and hopefully bring you a boatload of encouragement by doing that.
1:05.3	You know, there's a lot of new homeschooling families out there. And if you are new to homeschooling, welcome.
1:12.7	You are in the right place because I'm telling you, if I can do this, you can do this. So as I'm sharing each of these
1:20.2	topics, my hope and prayer in all of it is to bring this sort of undergirding to those of you who are just starting
1:29.7	out homeschooling. And for those of you who have been doing this for a while, you know, sometimes
1:34.6	we just need reminders of things that we've heard before. So I am sure that you will find
1:40.2	encouragement in this series as well. I have two podcasts that I publish every week.
1:46.7	The homeschool life is one. And the other one is a little bit longer where I bring on special
1:52.0	guests to talk about lots and lots of different topics. Recently, I had Jamie Erickson from
2:00.0	Home School Bravely. She wrote that book, and that has been a very
2:03.4	popular book because it's a very empowering, for lack of a better term. It's just a book that
2:10.4	encourages you to walk, not just limp along with homeschooling, but to walk boldly and courageously in what is right for your family.
2:21.4	And I love that. This week I'm having Sam Black on, and he is from Covenant Eyes for me
2:27.7	talking about protecting our kids from pornography. So I talk about lots of different topics,
2:32.9	but they're all related to family life and to the homeschool life. So I talk about lots of different topics, but they're all related to family
