What motivated Debbie to start this homeschooling solocast series?
I've decided it's time to loop my husband, Darren, into our homeschool faculty. He was the captain of his math team when he was in school, and so I know he's totally qualified for the job. I am expecting there's gonna be some bumps as they get started figuring out their teacher student relationship. I expect I'll be doing a fair amount of coaching and mediating between the two of them until they have figured out their rhythm and routine. Welcome to the Tilt Parenting Podcast, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and today I'm doing another solo cast episode, which means no guest, just me talking directly with you.
This is the third installment in a series of solo casts I've done that are specifically about homeschooling. I know that many families of differently wired kids end up going down this road, whether they're reluctant homeschoolers and they felt they were forced into the decision because they ran out of other options, or maybe they're just homeschoolers through and through and they knew they'd be homeschooling from the moment their child was born. Whatever the case, this episode is for you. And if you haven't listened to them already and you're interested in homeschooling or are already doing it, I encourage you to go back and listen to the two other episodes I've done about homeschooling. The first one, episode forty two, is all about how I made the decision to homeschool, even though it really wasn't what I had in mind at all, and I had a lot of resistance to the idea.
That episode can be found at tiltparenting.com slash session forty two. In this second episode, I talk about the actual transition to homeschooling, basically how we survived that first rocky year. If you want to listen to that, you can find it at tiltparenting.com/slash session forty-eight. I am planning to do at least one more episode on homeschooling beyond this one, in which I'll get really nitty-gritty about how I handle day-to-day challenges, which are not necessarily a rare occurrence. But for today I wanted to get super practical and talk about how we structure our school, what kind of classes Asher takes, how I figure out what he's gonna focus on, and all that kind of stuff. I wanted to talk about these things because I get lots of questions from listeners about this and I also know that figuring out how to come up with a curriculum can be one of the most overwhelming pieces of this puzzle.
And before we get started, I wanted to invite you to join over 600 other parents and take part in our free virtual differently wired 7-day challenge. Every day for 7 days, you'll get a short video delivered to your inbox featuring a practical shift you can make in your world to help you have a more positive and optimistic experience in parenting your unique kid. You'll also be invited to join a private Facebook group with other parents who participated in the challenge. We've heard from parents that the challenge has made an immediate difference in their day-to-day life, which is fantastic because that's exactly why we created it. Sign up and get started right away at tillparenting.com slash seven day.
And now I'll get on with the show. Okay, before I dive in, I just want to state up front that I recognize there are many different ways to homeschool. There's online schooling, there's unschooling, there are co-op homeschools, there's world traveling schooling, and really everything in between. Really I it can look so many different ways. So I just wanna be clear, I'm not recommending or advocating any specific approach. approach to homeschooling. I believe that if you're going to go this route, one of the best parts about it is that you have the freedom and flexibility to create a school that truly meets your child's needs and works for your family. What I am going to do in this episode is tell you what we do.
Some things that work well, some not so much. We're very much a work in progress, and like everything in our life, as I'm sure you experience too, we have to be willing to change and adapt as Asher grows and evolves and his needs change.
