[Podcast #266] Julie’s Back!

Brave WRiter Podcast

You may have noticed that Melissa’s been hosting the podcast solo recently. Today we learn why Julie has been absent and what she’s learned while she’s been away.

We talk about Julie’s experience with her mother’s illness, leading Julie to reflect on how her mother created a homeschooling culture for her kids even though they were enrolled in traditional school.

Also, we review how the Brave Writer’s Day Off Conference went and discuss our favorite parts.

Join us as we celebrate Julie’s return!

Show Notes

Homeschooling is about intentional action as parents. That’s why parents of kids who attend traditional school can still provide a homeschooling culture at home for them. That’s also why we should focus on action when we do homeschooling parent development.

Homeschool Culture for Traditionally Schooled Kids

Growing up, Julie went to a traditional school, yet she still considers her mom a kind of “homeschooling parent.” Julie’s mom established a culture of reading in the household. She also put on parties for her kids and their friends to dive deep into enriching topics.

For any parent out there who wishes they were homeschooling, Julie’s mother is a great example that it’s possible, no matter where your kids spend the school day.

Brave Writer’s Day Off Conference

Most conferences are full of a lot of sitting and listening to talks. Not Brave Writer’s. The Brave Writer’s Day Off Conference this year was full of “doing the thing.” They had a snowball fight for narration, practiced reverse dictation, and visited a Shakespeare play.

We know kids learn best by doing, but sometimes we forget adults are the same! As you seek to grow as a parent, remember to pursue what brings you alive and join your kids in finding connections and passion in everything.
