Build Your Community~How To Be An Awesome Homeschooler 

Have you ever felt  disconnected from community? Even more so now that you homeschool? 

Are there times when you feel like your ideas on learning and living your family life are too different from others around you? 

Do you want to connect wth others that "get you"?

Do you want to build your community?

Kelly Edwards and I have been in your shoes. As homeschool parents we have felt like taking the leap to home educate has isolated us at times.

It has also connected us to others who we may have not ever considered as community otherwise.  

In this episode Kelly and I talk about our origin stories as homeschooling parents. We also share how we connected as friends in need of community. 

We also share:

  • What community can look like for homeschoolers 
  • How community can challenge us
  • Ways to build community

And we talk about one of our favourite communities of all~ How To Be An Awesome Homeschooler

Robyn Robertson hosts Honey! I'm Homeschooling The Kids, a conversation that goes far beyond curriculum choices and into the heart of what it means to learn and grow together as a family. This isn't about presenting a perfect blueprint; instead, each episode feels like an honest chat with a friend who gets it, exploring the nuanced realities of choosing an educational path outside the conventional system. You'll hear from a diverse range of voices-experienced homeschoolers, unschooling advocates, educational researchers, and parents just figuring it out-all sharing their stories, challenges, and triumphs. The discussions naturally weave through parenting philosophies, cultural perspectives on childhood, and practical advice for nurturing a rich, engaging home life. Tuning into this podcast means finding a supportive community and thoughtful reflections on creating a family culture that prioritizes connection, curiosity, and joy. It’s for anyone curious about alternative education or simply seeking inspiration for a more intentional and fulfilling life with their kids.
