Are you a homeschooler? Ever thought about homeschooling? What about after school is finished? Have you thought about what the future holds for your kids/teens/adults? This episode covers homeschool and launching or transitioning our kids into adulthood.
Natalie Vecchione and Cindy LaJoy are both homeschool moms, who realized their teens, with FASD, needed alternative homeschool paths for meaningful futures. Through entrepreneurship and apprenticeship, these moms prepared their teens with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) to move forward with confidence, hope and a set of practical life and job skills.
We talk about the mind shift required, their mistakes (so you don’t have to make the same ones), what they’d do differently, practical tips and strategies, how their adults are doing now, and much more. They believe so strongly in homeschooling and setting their kids up for success they wrote a book about it: Blazing New Homeschool Trails: Educating and Launching Teens with Developmental Disabilities.
For many caregivers, homeschooling is an option and one that brings success. But even if you don’t homeschool there are still practical tips and advice in this episode about how our kids learn and how to find the strengths that will help them throughout their life. This episode is not about our kids graduating, it’s about developing a good human being and getting them ready for life.
Have a listen and let me know what you think. Do you homeschool? Do you want to? Will you after listening to this episode? Or do your kids do well in traditional school?
