SH #110: When Your Kid Refuses to Do Something

SH #110: When Your Kid Refuses to Do Something ~
Written by Jamie C. Martin of Simple Homeschool and Introverted Moms

Welcome to a new episode of the Simple Homeschool podcast, continuing this year’s series with my 18-year-old son Jonathan!

Jonathan was homeschooled from K-12th grade/graduation and today we are answering a question we get a LOT: What do you do when your homeschooled child doesn’t want to do an assignment, chore, etc?

When Your Kid Refuses to Do Something

In Episode 110, you’ll hear us discuss:

How to handle pushback depending on the age of your child (littles, tweens, teens)
Thoughts on separating academics from household duties
Why you should go to Thailand and not Bogota (listen in for more context, LOL, it’s a helpful analogy!)
How Jamie forced Jonathan to take the SAT twice (and what he thinks about that now looking back #meanmom)
