TPP 072: Homeschooling 2e Children Debbie Shares Her Curriculum & Schedule

Published: Aug. 29, 2017, 8:10 a.m.

b'This is the third installment in a series of solocasts specifically about homeschooling 2e children. I know many families of 2e and differently wired kids end up going down the homeschooling road, whether they\\u2019re reluctant homeschoolers and they felt \\u201cforced\\u201d into the decision because they ran out of other options or whether they knew they would homeschool from the moment their child was born. Whatever the case, this episode is for you.\\nIn this episode, I share how Asher and I structure our school, what kind of classes he takes, how I figure out what he\\u2019s going to focus on, and what a typical school day looks like for us. I wanted to talk about these things because I know that designing a curriculum can be one of the most overwhelming pieces of this puzzle.\\nA quick note: If you haven\\u2019t already done so, I encourage you to listen to the two other solocast episodes I\\u2019ve done on homeschooling 2e children. In Episode 42 I talk about how I made the decision to homeschool even though I had a LOT of resistance to the idea, and in Episode 48, I talk about the actual transition to homeschooling \\u2026 basically how we survived that first rocky year.\\n\\xa0Debbie Reber, MA, is a parenting activist, bestselling author, podcast host, and speaker who moved her career in a more personal direction in 2016 when she founded Tilt Parenting, a top resource for parents like her who are raising differently wired children.
