Dual Enrollment: Is It Right for Your Homeschooled Teen?

This episode of the Peaceful Homeschool Podcast features Emma and Beth discussing how they plan for the upcoming homeschool year. They reflect on their different planning styles and emphasize the importance of involving their kids in the planning process to ensure a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience. 

Emma shares her preference for early planning, starting as early as March, and discussing subjects, curriculum choices, unit studies, and field trips with her kids. Beth, on the other hand, tends to plan more loosely and focuses on planning history and science around field trips and unit studies. They both encourage listeners not to stress about the planning process and to consider buying used curriculum or finding free resources to make homeschooling more affordable. 

The hosts also share some fun traditions they have on the first day of school to celebrate the start of a new homeschool year. This episode wraps up with a call for listeners to share their own homeschool traditions.

Today Emma and Beth share some of their experiences with making things more peaceful and less hectic at home. From the time your kids are toddlers, they can be learning that in a family everyone helps. From cooking once and eating twice (or three times), to “stacking up” errands, to five-minute chores for kids, we’re chatting about ways to simplify your homeschooling life. Collaborating as a family to work together and teach important life skills is one of the keys to having a peaceful homeschooling life.

73. Best of Series - Homeschool Time Management, Home Management

In this episode, hosts Emma and Beth dive into the world of homeschooling and community. Do we all need to share the same religion—or even the same views—to learn together, be friends, or invite each other into our lives? They explore the benefits of exposing kids to different beliefs, weigh potential drawbacks, and ask: Can you listen to us if you’re not a Christian? With heartfelt insights, Emma and Beth reflect on how diverse perspectives—from vaccine debates to faith—don’t have to divide us. Drawing from their own experiences, they celebrate the power of civil, respectful discussions that bridge differences, foster understanding, and remind us to love every neighbor, no matter what they believe

70.  Brave Writer creator Julie Bogart discusses her new book "Becoming a Critical Thinker"

Do all teens need to have stereotypical attitudes and behaviors? Do they all have to be sulky and uninterested and revert to grunting as their main form of communication? How can we foster the relationships with our teens/tweens when they have so many changes going on and they aren’t sure how to handle them all. Plus, doesn’t society tell us that’s what teens are like? Heads up, you don’t have to follow society’s norms.
