Welcome back to another episode of Home School with Steph. I love being able to interview different people and provide resources as well as share my own experience on today's episode. So today's episode is going to be for the mom who has ever sat at the table with her child and thought, why is this so hard? The tears, the resistance, the moments of I can't that are being said, what if it's not about the curriculum and what if it's not even about your child's ability to learn? Today, I'm talking with Sandra Flees, a sensory-based learning creator, homeschooling mom, and the heart behind Chasing Fireflies Learning. Sandra helps parents understand how their child learns through what they can see, hear, and feel, and how to support their nervous system so learning can actually stick, talking about emotional regulation, reducing resistance, and creating homeschool days that feel more calm, more connected, and more doable. So if you ever feel discouraged or stuck with homeschooling, stick around. This is the episode you're going to want to listen to.Show Notes:00:00 Intro00:00 Introduction to Sensory-Based Learning02:55 Understanding the Importance of Regulation05:54 Movement as a Learning Tool09:04 Implementing Sensory-Based Learning11:54 The Journey of Homeschooling14:56 Flexible Structure in Education17:56 Nurturing Interests and Skills20:14 The Determination of a Mother 22:32 Creating Effective Learning Tools23:54 Sharing Resources and Strategies25:49 The Importance of Regulation in Learning28:30 Overcoming Homeschooling Challenges34:06 Socialization Myths in Homeschooling40:14 Trusting Maternal Intuition Links: Find her on instagram @chasingfireflieslearningState Laws for homeschoolCheck out my jewelry.
