NOT Homeschooling like a Teacher - Journey of a Normal Mom – Crystal Coleman, Part 2

"You've got to take homeschooling one day at a time. Communicating with your spouse, seeking wisdom through scripture, and setting realistic daily goals help you not just survive but thrive." - Crystal Coleman

Join Yvette Hampton and special guest Crystal Coleman on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast for an enriching conversation about the heart of homeschooling and Christian parenting. Former public school teacher turned homeschool mom, Crystal shares her insights on embracing the homeschool journey, balancing self-care with educational responsibilities, and nurturing her children's spiritual growth. Explore the importance of faith, the challenges of tailoring education to fit individual learning styles, and the rewards of hands-on learning. Whether you're a veteran home educator or considering homeschooling, this episode offers encouragement, laughs, and practical tips for homeschooling moms seeking to raise children in the light of the Gospel. Tune in to learn how to prioritize spiritual growth, face the misconceptions about socialization in homeschooling, and find peace in trusting the Lord through it all.

Come back tomorrow for the rest of this important conversation.
