Teens are a quirky bunch. One minute your heart is filled with so much love it hurts, the next you want to wring their neck. Hey, at least they’re never boring, right? But man, sometimes it seems like homeschooling teenagers is a really big challenge.
On this page I’ve compiled links to all of my articles, podcast episodes, and resources about how to handle all kinds of issues that come up during the course of homeschooling your teen. I’ve divided them into two sections: first, issues that are specific to homeschooling; and second, those teen issues that are more about general parenting, so that even non-homeschooling peeps could read these articles and be encouraged by them.
Scroll down to get to each section, or use the quick links in the above paragraph.
Everything listed below has been borne out of my own experience homeschooling five teenagers, all of whom have now graduated. You’ll see as you read and/or listen that I am far from perfect in this area, LOL. But frankly, it has always helped me to know that I’m not alone in my frustration and fear. Hopefully these articles will help YOU know that, too.
I still maintain, even when dealing with issues that arise when homeschooling teenagers, that EVERY mom can do this homeschool high school thing and feel confident and competent — and (mostly) content! Some days are more difficult than others, to be sure, but the linked content on this page will give you strategies you can use to minimize the conflict.
P.S. If you need more help with your relationship to your teen, my Save Your Sanity book has an entire chapter about how to keep communication lines open (or repair them):
