Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, I’m here for a quick chat about why we take the month of December off homeschooling and why I think you should too!! I want to encourage you and give you a few tips on how to build this into your schedule. You will never regret this time with your kids, most holiday activities naturally have academic components and rest is necessary and the perfect way to end the year. Enjoy festive days with your kids without huge crowds and without all the stress of cramming in too much into too little of time. Some topics covered in this episode and related links are:

Did you know that homeschooling is currently the fastest growing form of education?
With nearly five million homeschoolers in America today, I hope that my listeners will gain inspiration, research and new ways to implement education with their children in natural and intentional ways. I want to offer solutions to the many challenging problems our youth faces today. I want to unify home educators and parents from around the world.
