  I promise that I'm not adding "one more thing" to your to-do list. But, the summer typically means a bit of a break from academics for homeschool families.The curriculum is great, but if you child is not prepared for the world when they step out on their own, they'll have a lot of catching up to do, no matter what level of math they achieved, the science experiments you did, or the classic books they've read. Don't get me wrong, those things are fine. But, there is more to life than book knowledge. There is real life where they'll need to know how to interact, get along with, and function well with others, if for no other reason than for their Christian witness.I'm hoping you have a little more brain space with your usual routine set aside for the summer to focus on teaching and growing soft skills in your homeschooler of any age. I've got a lot of ideas for you...pick 1 or 2 that seem the most important and see how you can be intentional this summer!♥ LeighGET YOUR TICKET FOR LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conferenceDESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprintCREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome  GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal  Website - https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.comNewsletter - https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/subscribeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Little by Little Homeschool podcast is part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

  In the homeschool world, there are so many opinions about everything. And every mom has them, along with a list of reasons to back up those convictions.As I close in on my final homeschool graduate, I can look back and see that there were times I planted a flag so firmly in the ground that it blinded me to other possibilities. Even just this year, I had to rethink a decision.There are definitely some lines to draw, but many can be adjusted. And that is why one of my new mottos is, "Never say never in homeschool."Today's episode is all about having an honest chat to keep us from becoming too stuck in our ways or creep into legalism. Again, some lines and barriers must stay in place. But it's okay to rethink, reassess, and try something different.I hope this episode encourages you as you evaluate this homeschool year and plan for the next!♥ LeighDESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint JOIN THE LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE LIST TO BE THE FIRST TO HEAR THE LATEST NEWS! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/conferenceCREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome  GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal  Website - https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.comNewsletter - https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/subscribeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Little by Little Homeschool podcast is part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

• 460. Drama At The Homeschool Co-op? Should You Re-Enroll For Next Year? 30.04.2026 20min

  I really wish that I didn't have to do this episode. But, it felt necessary with all the stories I have heard from many homeschool moms over the years.Disagreements and different opinions are just a part of living life in relationship with other people. And you probably went into your co-op with happy thoughts of everything being perfect. But then, the bumpy road started showing through.My goal is to pull back the veil a little bit, give you some perspective, and hopefully some guidance on how to walk through drama at your co-op, along with what is next.There is always a way through...I promise.♥ LeighDESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint JOIN THE LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE LIST TO BE THE FIRST TO HEAR THE LATEST NEWS! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/conferenceCREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome  GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal  Website - https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.comNewsletter - https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/subscribeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Little by Little Homeschool podcast is part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

  As homeschool parents, we've heard all the one-liners about our choice to home educate our children. Maybe this is a new one for you though: "You are selfish for homeschooling your children."Instantly, that comment can put us on the defense. And possibly curb our enthusiasm for homeschool now that it is considered "selfish."Well, what do you think? Are you selfish or not?Let's unpack this question and I'm going to give you my opinion, along with a perspective shift that will put that enthusiasm right back into your life.♥ LeighDESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint JOIN THE LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE LIST TO BE THE FIRST TO HEAR THE LATEST NEWS! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/conferenceCREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome  GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal  Website - https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.comNewsletter - https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/subscribeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/Little by Little Homeschool podcast is part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
