208: Bringing Peace to Your Homeschool Experience | The Story of Connie and Her Daughter, Ashley
Are you looking for peace in homeschooling? Quieting the voices, listening to the research, and following a plan that works for your family is the path to peace in homeschooling. Another way to gain peace is by hearing the stories of those who have gone before us. Learning from the experiences of others is one of the great benefits of homeschooling-what worked and what didn't!
Carole speaks with Connie Wright and her daughter, Ashley Becker, who found peace and success in their homeschooling journey.
Connie and her husband transitioned to homeschooling after trying public and private schools. She then attended one of Carole's conferences and shifted their approach to literature-based learning. They began to feel such freedom and peace in their children’s self-learning which strengthened their family relationships and created beautiful memories through read-alouds, family discussions and time together.
Listen in and be encouraged!

Homeschool teenager
Dear Carole,
I am a thirteen year old boy who started homeschooling just this year. I’ve been to three private “Christian” schools and one classical charter school , and I must say that none of them hold a candle to your schooling theology. I’ve listened to many of your seminars such as the media one(I did it with my mom so I did not hear anything inappropriate), your food one and a couple others. I love what your doing and hope you keep sharing how to raise up kids who can think,read, and love God.
God Bless.
Huge fan!
As a homeschooling mother of 4, who is on year 12 of homeschooling, I needed encouragement. My oldest is graduating and I have one in preschool. 🫣 my two older kiddos are girls and our two little ones (prek and kinder) are boys. They are SO different and I just really needed encouragement with homeschooling my boys. Someone introduced me to Carole’s podcasts. I was so enthralled, I immediately listened to a seminar, more podcasts, bought books she recommended, etc. It was all I needed to be reminded that I can do this. And that we will do this, Lord willing, in a way that honors Him. I felt refreshed, encouraged, and like I had found my kindred spirit (no co-ops, take my guys into the church service with me, etc IYKYK) I’m just so thankful. We’ve since listened to the nutrition seminar and loved that also. I’ve been a curriculum junkie for 12 years and I feel so free being able to lay all Of that aside and just do what has always been my heart’s desire in the first place…snuggle up, read great books, teach my kids to work hard and serve well and love the Lord wholeheartedly. If we do this, we will have succeeded. Thanks Carole Joy Seid!
