  • The BEST homeschool podcast

    I’ve been bingeing this podcast for the last couple weeks, and it has come at just the right time as we are reentering homeschooling after a 5 year break. Meg’s focus on gentle but inspiring coaching, personal development (hello emotional regulation), and developing strong connections with your kids has recentered me and given me the courage I needed. As a perfectionist, I’ve also appreciated her perspective on keeping things simple and light. I’ve tried a handful of other homeschool podcasts, b... more

  • Helpful for every homeschool family!

    I like how short this podcast is, to the point with practical advice. Although the podcast is from a Christian Charlotte Mason homeschool, I still find this to be the most helpful podcast for me, even though our family is Jewish and we are not using Charlotte Mason. Thank you for all of your advice in organizing, curriculum, methods, and mindsets! I feel very welcomed and included by this podcast and this is not always the case in the homeschool world.

  • The permission I needed

    I found your podcast a little later, and have been so lucky to have hundreds of episodes to binge. I’m serious, I’ve been binge listening to your podcast, back to the days when Karen was with you. And it has been the resource that I didn’t know I needed. I’ve only been homeschooling for 2 years. I have a 7, 4, and 1 year old. But I’m so thankful that I found a valuable resource to help me as I begin this journey before I dove too far into homeschooling the way I thought I was supposed to. Your p... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#389 But What About Socialization?
Q: How would you respond to people who say, you won't be socialized if you homeschool?
Thomas says homeschoolers can find friends through family, activities and community life, and parents can intentionally teach social skills through everyday interactions. She argues that children do not need to spend the school day with same-age peers to learn to communicate, resolve conflict and build relationships.
#388 How to Handle a Strong-Willed Child Without Power Struggles
Q: How do you navigate negative behaviors from other children that your kids pick up on, especially from a school child, when one of the reasons you're homeschooling is to keep these behaviors and actions away from the children until they are mature enough to handle them?
Thomas says children will encounter behaviors from other children, but picking one up does not make it permanent. Parents can avoid giving minor behavior excessive attention and teach appropriate responses when everyone is calm.
#388 How to Handle a Strong-Willed Child Without Power Struggles
Q: How do you stay consistent when you are pregnant, working full time, and just plain exhausted?
Thomas recommends simplifying life, saying no to some responsibilities, lowering expectations, and finding ways to rest. She says consistency is easier with a simple plan that remains manageable when a parent is tired.
#386 What If We Want to Travel During the Homeschool Year?
Q: Am I romanticizing the idea of just taking our school with us, and neglecting obvious reasons why this won't work well?
Thomas says homeschooling can travel with the family if learning remains intentional. She recommends keeping a few portable subjects consistent and using destinations as learning opportunities. Co-ops and sports can be flexible or locally organized, children can build friendships in both places, and parents can adjust if their children struggle. For questions about state requirements, she recommends checking with the Homeschool Legal Defense Association.
#385 Did My Homeschooled Daughter Ever Wish She Went to Public School?
Q: But did you ever want to go to public school? Yes or no, and why?
Bella recalls a younger period when all her friends were in public school and she longed to fit in, but as she matured she gained an appreciation for the freedoms and broader experiences homeschooling offered, including time for personal interests and opportunities beyond a traditional classroom.
