Homeschooling Mindset Shift: Putting Together the Puzzle

Show Notes

On this episode of The Building Heroes Podcast, we explore the idea that children are not distractions but actually the whole point of homeschooling. Our guest, Laura Swain, shares her insights on why the factory-style homeschooling approach doesn't work and explains how a mindset shift is needed for parents to connect with their children and cultivate their innate curiosity instead of focusing on efficiency and standardization. We also discuss handling guilt and pressure, finding a supportive community, embracing the hero's journey, and offers practical tools such as a free de-schooling guide and a Type A checklist.
