174. A Homeschool Mom’s Mindset | Angela Braniff of This Gathered Nest

Homeschooling goes far beyond choosing curriculum and planning field trips. It is equally as important to establish a firm grasp on why we are homeschooling and what our homeschool philosophy is.

I so enjoyed this conversation with Angela where we had a chance to get honest about the ups and downs of our homeschooling journeys. We chatted about important mindset shifts we have had to embrace along the way and old paradigms we are moving away from.

Are you considering homeschooling but you are fearful? Are you in the thick of it and need some encouragement to keep going? Join us for this inspiring conversation!

In this episode, we cover:

Making schooling decisions based on each individual child’s needs
Finding the balance between giving yourself grace and pushing yourself
Tips for keeping little ones occupied while homeschooling older siblings
Freeing yourself from expectations and embracing the flexible schedule of homeschooling
Encouraging learning to extend beyond textbooks and worksheets into valuable life skills
Recognizing perfectionism in our kids and helping them learn through failure
Reframing our perspective about what is most important for our children to learn
Math curriculum reviews for kids that struggle with math
Protecting our kids’ mindsets around their ability to learn
What if you are nervous to homeschool?
How will homeschooled kids turn out?
