Homeschool Support & Guidance

July 16, 2025

Are you a homeschooler, or thinking about it? On this episode of Practice Makes Parent, Danny and Rebecca are at the Homeschool Educators Association of Virginia talking with Christy Faith, an experienced homeschool advocate and educator. Christy shares her journey and emphasizes the importance of redefining education to include critical thinking and emotional intelligence, as well as challenging the traditional school system's focus on rote learning. The conversation covers free play, secure attachment, and interest-led learning. We'll also address concerns about the organization and structure of homeschooling, the need for periodic assessment, and the importance of intentional parenting.
