You remember the day that your tiny baby boy lay nestled in your arms for the first time. And as he grew, so did your relationship. The two of you are buddies and he adores you.

The {not so funny} thing about little boys is that they grow up. And before we know it, they're the size of grown men and we wonder how we fit into the world now.

It wasn't long ago that I strugled with what my relationship would look like with my boys as they hit the teen years and beyond. And I have heard from many of you who have the same concerns.

Today's episode will place you into my shoes and I'll share a little bit of what I have learned through trial and error in hopes that it settles your anxious heart.

Sometimes it seems like homeschoolers have their own secret language of terms. And today we are going to crack open one of those words: deschooling.

Let's tackle the subject of what it actually is. And then focus in on why you, as a homeschool parent, need to do it.

The goal is for you to feel empowered to take education back from what you think it needs to be to what it can be in your home. And I promise that you'll walk away from this episode with a little extra pep in your step!
