Homeschooling Reluctant Learners: How to “Do What You Love,” Even When They Don’t Love It.
Simple is the New Smart, the Minimalist Homeschooling Podcast – Episode 7
In homeschooling, we talk a lot about the love of learning: that we, as parent-teachers want to love our days, and that we really want our children to love learning. So, what happens when you’re homeschooling reluctant learners? Here, I’m imagining my own reluctant learners: when children drag their feet, moan, complain about, or avoid learning. On good days they my passively and un-enthusiastically trudge through their learning; and on the worst days, they throw fits or put up a stubborn wall of refusal.
In this episode, we’re talking about 9 ways to do more of what you love when homeschooling reluctant learners – or any learners, really.
