Do you dream of having a successful homeschooling experience for your children? If so, you're not alone! In this blog post, we'll be diving into the valuable insights shared by Dollie Freeman, the host of “Influencing Your Kids” and an experienced homeschooler with 23 years of teaching under her belt.
Dollie will reveal three essential planning anchors that have contributed to her homeschooling success. These proven strategies have helped her finish the homeschooling year on time and ensure her children make progress in their education.
Setting the Right Start Time:
Marking the Last Day of Homeschooling:
Dollie believes that setting a clear end date for the homeschooling year is just as crucial as planning the start date. By determining the last day of school in advance, you and your children will have a tangible goal to work towards. This motivation can significantly impact their progress and enthusiasm throughout the year. Dollie shares her personal experience of celebrating the last day of homeschooling with her family, and how it has become a cherished tradition to look forward to each year.
Scheduling Mom for Success:
One of Dollie's most valuable insights is the need for moms to prioritize self-management and schedule themselves effectively within the homeschooling day. Rather than juggling individual schedules for each child, she advocates giving children independent grade notebooks, while mom focuses on her own schedule to manage dependent learners effectively. This approach allows mom to allocate time for each child's specific needs and ensure a well-balanced and successful homeschooling experience for all.
Dollie Freeman's experience and expertise as a homeschooling parent have provided valuable insights for creating a successful homeschooling journey.
By implementing the three planning anchors – setting the right start time, marking the last day of homeschooling, and scheduling mom for success – you can establish effective routines, foster motivation, and ensure progress in your children's education.
Remember, homeschooling is a dynamic process, and adjustments may be needed over time. Embrace flexibility, stay consistent, and celebrate your family's unique homeschooling achievements.
With these strategies in place, you'll be well on your way to a fulfilling and rewarding homeschooling experience for you and your children. Happy homeschooling!
