EP237: Ever penciled āmental math" for next Tuesday and that morning, realized you had no idea what problems to use? This conversation digs into the quiet reason homeschool plans stall: we schedule the when and skip deciding the what. In this episode, Jean shares how a few concrete choices ~ specific words, page numbers, prompts, and simple activities ~ turn a hopeful calendar into lessons that actually happen.Youāll hear why observation and preparation matter, how to be decisive without overplanning, and ways to lean on openāandāgo resources or repurpose trusted favorites when energy is low. Most importantly, we show how small starts create momentum, momentum builds rhythm, and rhythm grows confidence for both you and your child.Homeschool planning is a living and breathing process. For more support, our Inspired at Home community offers masterclasses, a searchable forum, and weekly coaching calls to help you build content that fits your child.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help more homeschoolers find us.Ā Join the Inspired at HomeĀ community https://artofhomeschooling.com/inspiredathomeĀ Find theĀ Show Notes hereĀ https://artofhomeschooling.com/episode237/Send Jean a text message.Support the showThanks for listening! š ā¶ļøLet's Connect!Instagram https://www.instagram.com/art.of.homeschooling/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/artofhomeschoolingwithjeanWebsite https://artofhomeschooling.com
