SH #107: What Makes a GOOD or BAD Homeschool Mom?

March 21, 2023 //  by Jamie C. Martin

SH #107: What Makes a Good or Bad Homeschool Mom? ~
Written by Jamie C. Martin of Simple Homeschool and Introverted Moms

Warning: Be prepared for lots of #truthbombs in this episode! LOL I hope you’ve been enjoying the special podcast series with my 18-year-old son Jonathan: “Reflections from a Homeschool Graduate.”

Jonathan was homeschooled from K-12th grade so he has a unique perspective, and today we are articulating some of the qualities that we believe make a good homeschool mom/parent!

We created this episode to coincide with the release of our new quiz: “Are you a good or bad homeschool mom?” Have you taken it and gotten your special gift yet?! Find it here: simplehomeschool.net/quiz

What Makes a Good or Bad Homeschool Mom?

In Episode 107, you’ll hear us answer these questions: 

  • What qualities make a good homeschool mom?
  • Should homeschool moms invest in themselves and their own interests?
  • Are you more like a guide or a drill sergeant?
  • Are you teaching the child you have or the child you wished you had?

Click here to stream/download Episode 107! Find it wherever you listen to podcasts and subscribe so you’ll be notified when we release another episode in a couple of weeks.

  • Thanks to the sponsors for this episode: Oak Meadow and All About Reading/Spelling
