38 - Homeschooling Confidently

Simple is the New Smart with Zara Fagen, PhD

In this episode, Zara is unpacking...

1) All the reasons homeschoolers feel uncertain and ungrounded;

2) All the reasons every homeschooler deserves to be confident; and

3) Some tricks to regain your confidence during those doubtful times.

There's a pervasive cultural story telling us that homeschooling is fraught with potential pitfalls, and is therefore, is a risk to our children. Well-intentioned nay-sayers want to protect our children from the abnormal homeschool setting.

However, when we unpack exactly *how* homeschooling is "abnormal," we discover just how superior it is, and that the risks are actually fewer by taking the "weird road," rather than the conventional.

Let's bust some myths, and confront the twisted perspective that may be preventing us from homeschooling with peace and confidence. Ready? Let's go!
