Sensory Smart Homeschooling: Encore Conversations with the Homeschool OT Sarah Collins

Tidy Dad Tips on Flexibility, Time, and Scruffy Hospitality | Tyler Moore
Q: What sparked Tyler's shift from closet consultations to teaching and writing about tidying?
He moved from doing hands-on organizing to sharing videos and writing to empower others, turning tidying into a broader philosophy about mind space and daily choices.
Tidy Dad Tips on Flexibility, Time, and Scruffy Hospitality | Tyler Moore

Tidy Dad Tips on Flexibility, Time, and Scruffy Hospitality | Tyler Moore
Q: What is your mission with your Instagram account and your podcast?
Moore explains that the mission is to embolden people to make decisions that suit their families and lives, not based on the opinion that bigger is better, emphasizing personal context and intentional choices.
Best of Christy Faith Homeschool Conversations
Q: What are the key indicators that homeschooling might be a better fit for a child currently in school?
Emotional well-being is the primary indicator; if a child is struggling emotionally, socially, or mentally, homeschooling can offer a healthier environment. Academic learning can happen at any age, but the emotional climate often determines overall readiness and engagement.
