During Episode 7 of our Homeschool Hints Video Series we spoke with Vanessa Hartmann from @VanessaHolisticLiving on Instagram. Vanessa is a wife and mom to one son who is 7 years-old. Some of the key takeaways from our conversation was that we should develop a daily rhythm while homeschooling our child. Next, incorporate songs and finally, learn to listen and trust your child. Right now, homeschooling within nature can offer the flexibility and peace that both parent and children need in order to cope with everything that is going on in our world today.
She answered the following questions:
- How can parents make learning fun for their homeschool child?
- What are some ways that you can engage young children throughout the day?
- How can parents come up with hands on activities?
- What to do when you notice your child is having a hard time focusing?
