In this homeschool Q&A, I’m answering a bunch of your questions as a mama who’s been homeschooling for a lot of years now—my oldest is finishing grade 10, and we’ve homeschooled all the way from kindergarten. I didn’t sit down and script perfect answers for this one; I’m sharing what’s worked for us in real life, especially when it comes to teaching with confidence and pushing through those moments when you’re second-guessing yourself. We talk about high-energy boys and how I handle focus during school time (spoiler: lots of breaks, outside time, and even quick morning workouts when we need it). I also share what my kids are thinking for the future—Bible college, possible trade-style schooling, and leaving room for them to grow into their plans. And I explain how high school has looked for us, including how I “outsource” some subjects with online courses so I’m not trying to personally teach everything at the upper level. I also answer questions about homeschooling in Canada—especially Ontario—and what the requirements are (or aren’t), plus how we stay aware of current events using World Watch News. If you’re needing encouragement, I share why I’m confident homeschooling even when I have off days: I was homeschooled, I’m fine, and I truly believe this is the best fit for our family.
