Why Do You Homeschool? The Real Benefits For Your Family | Episode 272
In this episode from the archives, Carole Joy Seid sits down with her son, J.J. Seid, to discuss knowing the “why” behind your decision to homeschool. Whether you’re considering homeschooling or you’re two decades into this adventure, today we’re talking about what would cause you to educate your kids at home, and what will sustain you through the years. This episode will help you refresh your memory on why you homeschool, and give fuel to your fire to press on!
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Hear how second-generation homeschoolers like J. J. are thinking about educating their own children
- Learn why the way you were homeschooled often shapes whether or not you want to continue the journey with your own family
- Understand why homeschooling isn’t a spiritual badge of honor—and how to avoid framing education choices as more righteous or less
- Discover why boredom is a gift, and how it unlocks creativity and self-directed learning
- See how homeschooling can strengthen your child’s curiosity and love of books
- Find out why presence, relationship, and time with adults matter deeply in shaping your child’s character
