Episode 425 - How Many Hours a Day Do You Really Need to Homeschool?

Welcome back to the Smiling Homeschooler Podcast!

This week we’re talking about how much time you really need to spend homeschooling each day. There can be a lot of pressure to think that homeschooling needs to take up most of the day, but does it really need to be an eight-hour-a-day job?

We’re going to talk about what a realistic homeschool day can look like and how much time you actually need to get the important things done.

We’re also going to continue talking about the things our listeners have told us they wish they could change about their homeschools. We’ve gotten some really interesting answers, so we’ll share some more of those and talk through some of the challenges and frustrations that homeschool families are dealing with.
