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?
