In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the biggest questions home educating families face: how do I know this whole thing is actually working?

I explore:

  • Why the “gaps” in your child’s learning might be their greatest strength.
  • How traditional benchmarks can (no, will) hold your child back.
  • What real signs of growth and progress look like, and how to spot them.

If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing your approach, or wondering if your child is learning enough without all the usual school structures, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a completely new way of making sure you're on track.

You'll find all my weekly episodes right here: https://www.starkravingdadblog.com/tag/mini-episodes/

And the episode I mention on genuinely preparing your kids for adulthood, here: https://www.starkravingdadblog.com/what-really-prepares-your-child-for-adulthood-because-academics-wont/
