I have 6 kids; 11 to 21 and there is no right or wrong way, only right for you and your child and wrong for you and your child. I say to keep learning interest led and play based until the child is 8, with that said you can teach anything and introduce everything through play, play is a mindset. If he is motivated to learn to read that’s play, if he’s motivated to learn music that is play. Enjoy being a co-learner and play through the process as much as possible

I love seeing your and Ellen’s homeschooling/unschooling content. I am a huge proponent of home and unschooling, so it’s always fun to see what others are doing to help their children learn.

I love that you use a cassette player!!

I'm a violin teacher and I've started kids playing as young as three. It's really helpful if the parent learns along with the child and it makes practicing at home so much more fun.

I’m from Finland and went to school the year I turned 7. I was able to focus on playing, exploring, just being a careless kid until then. I think I learned to write my name a month before going to school, haha. And I learned things quickly at school nevertheless.

I was homeschooled in California starting in 6th grade. It wasn’t like a traditional home school though. We would actually go once a week and pick up assignments then do them at home with our parents and turn it all back in the following week. I enjoyed it and was finished with school at 16. Started college at 17. My son now thrives in public school for now and as long as he enjoys it and is safe. I have no problem pulling him out though if need be or he wants it. I should mention that we live in a small town in Oklahoma and it’s pretty easy and slow. I think everyone should do what works for them. We all learn differently 🙂

The rampage of indecisive thoughts about homeschooling at the end was so endearing to me! I get in those loops often (especially with big things) and it feels good to know others do too!! I think bc since the time of needing to choose is still relatively far way, it can make the indecision feel heavier. It will become more obvious the closer the time comes!

As someone who isn't involved with homeschooling, I feel there is so much more children can learn and the children can benefit more from having that extra one on one support in whatever subject they need. I'm not even vegan but I find you and your sister inspirational and I want to thank you for sharing your life and what works for your family. Sending you a hug from beautiful British Columbia Canada

Hannah I just want you to know that I enjoy the content you put out. You are a very down to earth person who has a positive impact on me. Your videos help my mindset to look for the joy in the little everyday things. You are the only influencer I continuously look forward and wait for videos to come out even still over the years.

I never wanted to homeschool until I started working at a homeschool hybrid school. Now I couldn’t imagine doing it another way!

We love the Well Educated Heart for homeschooling it’s not a curriculum but rather a method. We also have used The Good and the Beautiful curriculum as well.

My Aunt moved up there when my cousin's were small like yours too(theyre grown now) and she LOVES it,she a well known physical therapist Susan Gordon and lives on 80 acres,in the Winter they have the biggest Elk roam their property,its absolutely beautiful there and the people are extremely warm and welcoming ❤ so happy for you and your family Hannah ❤

Would love to more videos about your homeschool journey and what styles you’ve researched and/or tried 😊 I’m diving into all of this myself for my 2 year old. I know I have time but I feel the exact same way about craving a little more structure and purpose in the day ❤

Our favorite curriculum when my kids were young was Five In A Row. You cuddle up together read a picture book and then do activities and have conversations that go with the book. It was the perfect balance for us of a little bit of structure but with lots of freedom to adapt to the unique interest and needs of our family.

Love your content and your family dynamic <3

Let them play there is a study that shows children who start learning early like 4 have no advantage agianst children who start to learn around 6/7 years old. They are on the same level 2-3 years later.

You should look into a Year of Playing Skillfully for pre-grade school age! It combines play and learning activities and is helpful in introducing some structure into your day.

My baby is the same age and I would love to see how you modify for your little one and meal ideas everyone can have.

Hi Hannah!! We're also in the boise area and I'd love to see your garden this year and what you are planting! I have a garden as well and would love some inspo!

Seeing Cosmo's PJs at the beginning always makes me so nostalgic because my siblings and I had those same matching PJs when we were kids!
