The Homeschool Solutions Show

Are working with a bright, hard-working learner who feels "dumb"? Change the evidence by changing the way he learns. Here are some strategies that I used in my resource room and consultation practice to prove to students how smart they really are. The students that use these "zany" memory strategies find they have great success in school and take these skills with them to college.

How to recognize and celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence--and still keep your sanity!

Elizabeth Kidd offers her humor and practical tips on what supplies are absolutely essential, best curriculum for kindergarten, and how a child with Down's Syndrome has been a gift to their family.

Although we are surrounded by messages that imply that college is the best choice for everyone, that isn't always true. Some kids and families have the kinds of gifts and talents that make a skilled trade or entrepreneurship a much better option. Join us today to hear about Cindy LaJoy's experience in homeschooling a blue-collar family.

Is your homeschool relaxed and inviting? At one time, our homeschool was miserable. We were following all the "rules of school" and enjoying absolutely none of it. School had become stale and boring, and we desperately needed to add a little bit of Enchantment to our relaxed Charlotte Mason homeschool.

Today we are going to be talking about teaching our children to know God's voice. Mark and his daughter Summer recently released a children's book entitled God Speaks in Whispers. This may have been my favorite interview yet! Even if you don't have young children to read this picture book to… this is a not-to-be-missed conversation!

Humor and introspection into the different species of homeschoolers, homeschool uniforms, and the lingo and vocabulary unique to the homeschool culture.

Do you have a child who is anxious, and gets upset easily…who is "overreactive" to his environment? Childhood should be "carefree", but for some kids and teens, it is anxiety-filled. Their nervous system is sending them erratic messages that make them feel uneasy, panicked, or upset. We call them kids whose nervous system is in disequilibrium. Is it "Character or Chemistry?". In this Podcast, we will explore the physical symptoms that a child often has that leads to behavior that is inappropriate. We will explore ways that we can help these kids feel so much better. Looking to the body's manufacturing place for the calming neurotransmistters (the "gut"), we will explore an easy nutritional supplement plan (using your local health food store), that many parents use to help their child's body make more calming neurotransmitters, so they can feel peacefull, fall asleep easily, handle loud noises, and in general be able to react to their everyday environment with more ease.

Tried and true ways to get your kids to actually remember what you say!

Jessica talks with Rachel Jankovic about the success of her first book, Loving the Little Years, about her passion for women reading Scripture, and about why women need to understand their identity.
