    Providing Your Homeschooler Possibilities with the START Approach (with Elan Page) | S3 EP8

    One of the reasons you started homeschooling is likely because your child needs to see a positive and helpful template for what they can become by committing to themselves and their learning.

    I sat down with Elan Page to discuss how you, as your child’s main role model, can break generational unhealthy belief patterns and provide something better for your child.

    You can show them through homeschooling what their limitless potential makes them capable of through a simple S.T.A.R.T. method.

    How To Maintain Family Connection When Not All Children Want To Be Homeschooled (with Shannon Biancamano) | S3 EP7

    How To Maintain Family Connection When Not All Children Want To Be Homeschooled (with Shannon Biancamano) | S3 EP7

    Sometimes the best choice for one child is different than the best choice for another child! Sometimes the best choice for now isn't always the best choice in the future.

    How can you, as a mom, cultivate family connection and unity when only some of the children are homeschooled and others are in a classroom?

    I sat down with Shannon Biancamano, a seasoned homeschooling mom who has found a way to stay connected with each child, and keep them connected with eachother, despite her oldest staying in the classroom when the rest started homeschooling.

Doc B Loc ,

Sound educational wisdom

Natalie does such a great job understanding and addressing some very pertinent questions for homeschool parents. She asks great questions and hosts a show that keeps me listening and learning!

Gillian Perkins ,

wisdom, discernment, and clear guidance

When you're looking for guidance, I think the most important thing to look for is a mentor with WISDOM -- and Natalie Burns fills that criteria well. She's a veteran homeschooler with years of experience and this podcast is a goldmine of the wisdom she's learned along the way.

Gabe from Red Hot ,

Connection matters so much!!

I love how Natalie breaks down homeschooling to connecting with our kids and gives us practical applications in order to do this naturally, even if we have older kids that we haven’t implemented it with before. I’m learning so much from the lessons she shares.
