The Heart of Homeschool Connection | Janie Gibson | Ep. 117

How can homeschooling parents persevere in building community in the midst of daunting challenges? In today’s conversation, Zan Tyler and Janie Gibson encourage parents to weather these obstacles in order to provide their children the opportunity to experience the joy of community and the heart of homeschool connection. As Janie shares candid stories about launching co-ops in various locations and Zan reflects on starting one of South Carolina's first homeschool fine arts co-ops, they offer understanding and practical wisdom about navigating barriers and learning to trust God's timing. From calling dozens of churches to find meeting spaces for co-ops to learning to support the unique interests of children in group settings, these women agree that the effort pales in comparison to the joy children can find in community when their parents have a heart for connecting families with each other. Successful homeschooling isn't always about having a huge community, but rather finding a meaningful community, even if that involves  just "a buddy or two" to journey alongside.
