In this video I’m walking you guys through how I “homeschool” my 18–19 month old, Noah, and I want to say up front—this is super basic, relaxed, child-led, and play-based. We start with hygiene and getting ready for the day because I’m big on teaching him how to take care of himself. Then I set the tone with no TV and classical music (y’all, I read that it can be really good for development), and I let him learn through real life as he helps me make breakfast—cutting with a butter knife, mixing, pouring water—simple things that build hand-eye coordination and life skills. After breakfast and prayer (and yes, he signs “all done” in ASL), we do our little learning time: name recognition with letters, colors/shapes, sounds (like “m” instead of “muh”), and fun games like stop/go. I keep it positive because toddlers feel frustration fast, and I’m not perfect—I literally have to ask the Holy Spirit to guide me and give me patience, because this is his first time living too. We read books (even if he flips pages), do sensory play with cornstarch + water, get outside for bike/scooter time, and take toddler-led walks that tire him out in the best way. It’s routine, it’s faith-led, and it’s focused on development without forcing it.
