Motivation Myths That Mess Up Your Homeschool

The following post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure statement.

Hey, homeschoolers!

After 21 years of homeschooling, I know that motivation runs high at the beginning of the year. But it doesn't take many weeks before that initial enthusiasm starts to cool. You begin looking forward to Christmas break sooner than you thought you would.

We realize that we need to use some motivational tricks for ourselves and our kids in order to finish the things that we've planned. The problem with our motivating efforts is we often buy into several motivation myths that I'm going to describe in this episode. If we do, we will likely continue to struggle.

If you are interested in motivating your homeschooler, I've created a video class that you can you use with your spouse or other caregiver that will help you create an effective motivational plan. It includes a handbook for taking action and not just taking in information.
