A Brave Writer's Life in Brief

Thoughts from my home to yours

Podcast: One Thing Principle

One Thing Principle Podcast


I’ve written about the One Thing Principle many times. In this Brave Writer podcast, though, I wanted to share with you in more detail about how to get that fantasy homeschool you imagine into the real world of your routine family practice.

Noah shares about our family and what we did that he remembers and I am hoping that my comments will ease some of the frustration and doubt that get in the way of enjoying your time at home with your kids.

    Thank you for the inspiration! I really enjoyed listening to this and will look for ways to implement this in our homeschool. It’s exactly what I needed to hear during this cold winter weather!

    […] Mark a day on the calendar for an “At Home Field Trip” to your “destination” (the tombs of Ancient Egypt, the cave paintings of Lascaux, etc.).  (I heard that phrase on the Brave Writer podcast and I think it’s awesome.  The idea is to set aside a day for a special activity that replaces regular homeschool lessons.) http://blog.bravewriter.com/2013/01/22/11-one-thing-principle/ […]
