Have you ever wondered how some moms manage to homeschool a large family – when homeschooling just a few children can already feel overwhelming? Penney Douglas homeschooled all ten of her children, but her homeschool didn’t turn out anything like she imagined it would.
Along the way, unexpected challenges forced her to rethink what successful homeschooling really looks like.
In this episode of The Homeschool Sanity Show, Penney shares the lessons she learned through more than 27 years of homeschooling – including what she had to change, what she had to let go of, and what ultimately made homeschooling a large family manageable.
We also talk about the surprising benefits her children gained from growing up and learning together – and the encouragement she would give the homeschool mom who feels like she simply can’t keep up.
If you’ve ever thought, “How am I supposed to do all of this?” you’ll want to hear Penney’s perspective.
We also discuss Penney’s book, Dear Struggling Homeschool Mom, I See You, written for the mom who needs reassurance that homeschooling doesn’t have to look perfect to be successful. https://amzn.to/4z7UGie Watch now for encouragement from a mom who has truly been there.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
