“Why am I doing this homeschool thing?” How many times do we ask ourselves this question? Aby Rinella joins Yvette Hampton in this session from the 2020 Homegrown Generation Family Expo to answer this question.

EVERYTHING CHANGED in 2020! For the first time, many were faced with one of the greatest decisions of their parenting lives. How would they educate their children? COVID-19 restrictions, masks, social distancing, and virtual classes forced parents to reconsider education.

Every day now, parents are considering homeschooling for the first time ever and asking the question, “But How?” Yvette Hampton and Aby Rinella answer this critical question.

How can a parent educate their children at home even under the most impossible circumstances? Yvette Hampton talks with Nicki Truesdell, mother of 5, second-generation homeschooler, and author of Anyone Can Homeschool. Nicki will share her stories of home education through many ups and downs, including being a single parent and dealing with a chronic health issue, and how she learned to adapt to every situation.

Yvette Hampton talks with author and speaker, Israel Wayne about How to start homeschooling. Israel Wayne is the author of Answers for Homeschooling: Top 25 Questions Critics Ask, which answers many of the questions that people have when considering whether homeschooling is appropriate for their family. In this episode Israel and Yvette discuss why so many families choose to homeschool and what the alternatives (public school, and private school look like). They also discuss whether homeschooling is appropriate for all types of families, or if it is best suited to certain groups.
