215: Homeschooling Middle Schoolers: Our Philosophy on Growing Independent Learners

As we continue our journey through the various stages of a child's education, we wanted to take a closer look at a crucial phase of homeschooling: middle school. Homeschooling middle schoolers is a topic we are often asked about as parents wonder how to approach these years. This transitional period between childhood and adolescence can be daunting. However, it is also key to shaping their spiritual growth. Carole Joy Seid and Rachel Winchester discuss the importance of understanding the developmental needs of middle schoolers. Cultivating an environment where children are given the freedom to embrace both their lingering childhood tendencies and the emerging traits of independence and responsibility is key. This episode will encourage you to savor the middle school years with your child, helping you navigate this transitional period with confidence and joy. Homeschooling middle schoolers can be enjoyable!
