Homeschool is a Work of Heart
The world of education is changing, and more families are choosing a different way. Homeschooling gives parents the opportunity to personalize learning, strengthen relationships, and help their children grow into confident, capable learners. But even with all the benefits, the day-to-day can feel challenging.
If you have a heart for homeschooling, this podcast is here to encourage you, offer practical guidance, and help you see your role and your child in a whole new light.

Why Kids Forget (And Why That's Okay)

“I forgot.”
Have you heard that one before?
This week, I want to talk about why kids forget and why it’s actually okay that they do.
After reading over a hundred student essays this month with my team, I was reminded of something so important. One of our students skipped a step in the writing process… again. He felt frustrated and embarrassed and told me, “I forgot.”
And it got me thinking. "What if forgetting isn’t a problem to fix? What if it’s actually part of how learning works? We should talk about this!"
In this episode, I’m sharing a few encouraging, research-backed ideas that will help you better understand your child’s learning process:
- Why forgetting is a sign the brain is working properly
- Why repetition matters more than we think
- How practicing remembering strengthens memory
If you’ve ever felt frustrated when your child forgets something they just learned, this episode will help you see it in a whole new light.
