Done by noon: efficient homeschooling
This week we delve into how to keep homeschooling efficient! Homeschooling is a magical environment for combining subjects and interdisciplinary studies. We can learn how to make the most of the natural learning present in our family lives.
We also address head butting, or, more to the point, avoiding head butting. This national pastime does not have to take up so much of our day. It's a big question, and we give it an overview in this episode. More questions might spin off of it, don't forget to submit them here: email me!
