Summary

In this episode of the Homeschool Better Together podcast, I’m talking about one key mindset shift that can make a world of difference in your homeschool—honoring your school day. It’s easy to let distractions take over or convince ourselves that we can always multitask, but setting aside dedicated time for homeschooling is critical. I’ll share how this simple change has transformed our homeschool and made our days smoother and more consistent.

I also dive into why multitasking during school hours might be the very thing holding you back. When we try to do it all, it’s easy to lose focus on what’s most important—being fully present with our kids during school time. I’ll give you some practical tips to make sure you’re honoring that school day, avoiding the temptation to juggle too much, and making the most of your homeschool hours.

Key Points:

  • Honoring your school day means prioritizing dedicated homeschool time.
  • Avoid multitasking during school hours to stay focused.
  • Being present with your kids during lessons helps keep the day productive.
  • Choose just two priorities for each day, with homeschooling being one of them.
