Episode 10: Raising Arrows
“Ok, I am totally freaking out. How in the world do I homeschool my teens?!”
We hinted on this topic in a past episode, and after some viewers asked, we decided to take a deeper dive into what it takes to homeschool teens!
In episode 10 we outline the absolutes and the provisional of homeschooling teens, from knowing your state’s legal requirements to the college pathway. Let’s face it, the teen years can be HARD. Parenting young adults who are growing into themselves is no easy task. Add the task of being their teacher into the mix and it can be daunting! But we are here to tell you that homeschooling teens is INCREDIBLY rewarding and not nearly as tough as you think!
In this episode we chat about the MANY resources available to homeschooling families simply for the teen years, how to navigate the social aspect teens NEED to thrive, and we even go into depth on college admissions (although we don't push college for ALL ever)... So many of us are conditioned to thinking the path to success is school, more school, and college. That’s simply NOT the case and why homeschooling families have an upper hand in this respect, because they are more tuned in with their teens. They spend more time with them, getting to know them, and helping them craft their trajectory, so they can hit their target in life.
“Formal Education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”
All in all, the teen years are vital, so let's keep them close, give them the foundation they need and set them free to be the salt and light we've raised them up to be.
PS: For those families with a college-bound kiddo, we even have statistics and information from a Vice President of a University! All we can say is PAPER TRAILS & PORTFOLIOS!
So let’s raise arrows!
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” Psalm 127:3-5
