Teach the child you have. Sometimes my ideas…
Apologies Are Like Toothbrushes: Teaching Your Children to Apologize “But I said I was sorry!” I’m fairly sure that, like me, you’ve heard that refrain in your home many times before.

One of the things I love the best about homeschooling is that each homeschool parent can adjust the curriculum and methods she uses to fit her own family. My second favorite thing is that our homeschool classrooms (or other homeschool spaces and places) are flexible too! We can homeschool in the kitchen, on the sofa,…
Ever have a parent or teacher ask you why you’re not using a journal to help you improve your writing? And have you ever wondered what the fuss is all about, especially when you don’t like to write in the first place? When I was in middle school, I had all sorts of strange thoughts…
