How to Hand Off Learning Without Letting Everything Crash (Week 8 of the 12-Week Homeschool Challenge)
Episode Description:
If your tween is rushing through assignments, asking “Am I done yet?” every morning, or tuning out the moment things get hard—you’re in the right place.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to hand off more responsibility to your homeschool tween without stepping away completely. You’ll learn:
- Why marking their own work builds more awareness than correcting it for them
- How to use the answer key as a teaching tool (not just a grading tool)
- When it’s okay to move on—even if the workbook isn’t finished
These three shifts helped me move out of micromanaging mode and into something that actually built confidence in my kids—and gave me more breathing room too.
Whether you’re wrapping up the school year or homeschooling year-round, Week 8 will help you create a rhythm that feels sustainable and effective.
