17- Teen volunteering

17- Teen volunteering

An opportunity to try out possible careers, gain confidence, feel a sense of purpose and meet great people! Teen volunteering has so many benefits, but where to start? In this episode, I discuss our experience with this and how we secured the volunteering gigs my daughter is enjoying now.

16- Homeschooling co-op

Families meeting regularly to share their knowledge and skills and learn together. Creating a homeschool co-operative has been a dream of mine since we started homeschooling. I tried a few different formats and learned a lot along the way. In this episode, I share how our current co-op is going and tips if you are planning to start your own.

15- Organising events for the homeschooling community

You can go your whole homeschooling life without organising any events for your local community, but I enjoy doing it and I think it greatly enriches my kids’ learning experience. In this episode I share how I organise excursions, classes and a co-op in the hope of inspiring others to do the same!

14- Screen time

How much screen time do your children get? Do you limit their access to devices? Screen time is often the subject of discussion in homeschooling and parenting circles and opinions vary widely. In this podcast, I share what works for us, at the moment and how I deal with my own feelings about this topic.

13- Covering the curriculum- PDHPE

To finish off our series discussing how we cover the curriculum in our homeschool, today I am discussing physical education, health and personal development, as well as the Food Tech elective for high school.
