EP 021: Keeping Homeschool Simple: Heartfelt Tips, Right-Brained Learners & the Rule of 3

Ready to make homeschooling feel easy, joyful, and totally doable? In this episode, we’re discussing creating a simple, heart-centered homeschool experience that builds a lifelong bond with your child. Joining us is Mrs. Laura Padberg—a mom of six with 25 years of homeschooling experience, known as the “LEGO mom” for her unique ability to nurture her children’s interests and inspire them to explore their passions. Laura’s wisdom has impacted not only her family but also countless others through the two largest online homeschooling communities in Oklahoma.

We discuss my "Rule of 3 Years," the significance of childhood milestones (like losing teeth!), and how to support right-brained learners. You’ll gain insight into identifying and encouraging creative thinkers, plus practical tips for simplifying your homeschool routine.
