Stop Overworking and Start Enjoying Your Homeschool

Homeschool Better Together with Pam Barnhill

In this episode, I share a hard-learned lesson: as homeschooling moms, we shouldn't be the ones working the hardest! I used to think every lesson had to be fun and engaging, but it turns out, simplicity and consistency are key.

I talk about the importance of short, manageable lessons and meeting our kids where they are—focusing on what really matters. Morning time routines have also been a game changer, bringing our family together and making our homeschool days more joyful. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember to simplify, breathe, and focus on building those meaningful relationships.

Key Takeaways:

• Simplify lessons and keep them short.
• Focus on consistency rather than perfection.
• Meet your kids where they are and consider their preferences.
• Incorporate a morning time routine for structure and joy.
