In this blog post, she shares three crucial tips for making the <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/blog\/how-to-homeschool-through-high-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homeschooling experience through high school<\/a> more manageable and rewarding.<\/p>\n<h2>If I\u2019d Known Then What I Know Now: 3Tips for Homeschooling Through High School<\/h2>\n<p>In our expansive family library, some picture books stand out as personal family classics. One of our favorites is Reeve Lindbergh\u2019s, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/-\/en\/Reeve-Lindbergh\/dp\/0140557725\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>If I\u2019d Known Then What I Know Now<\/em><\/a>. Written in rhyme, it chronicles one family\u2019s mixed-up life as Dad struggles with the finer points of plumbing, carpentry, and animal care. The family bumbles their way through examples like stoves that are cold and refrigerators that are warm. The story concludes with the heartwarming awareness that they wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n<p>Their unique story and their unique dad were perfect for them.<\/p>\n<p>Having now launched several humans into the adult sphere, here are some \u201cIf I\u2019d known then what I know now\u201d words of advice for you.<\/p>\n<p>I hope these three tips will help make homeschooling through high school doable!<\/p>\n<h2>1. Give Attention to Older Children<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Give your older children the same and possibly more attention than you give your youngers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?! But, my younger kids have so many more needs!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do they? Sure, they may still be wearing diapers, and it\u2019s likely that some of them cannot yet read or quickly recite multiplication facts. You\u2019re in the trenches of teaching basic skills, keeping them safe, driving them all the places, and generally facilitating nearly every aspect of their experiences. But there\u2019s a quiet math problem that accompanies every bedtime story, a load of dirty laundry, and an orthodontist appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Your time with your older student is \u201cless than\u201d what remains for your younger child.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get swept away in the physical, immediate, and often noisy demands of younger children. They require a lot. Can I get an \u201camen\u201d!?<\/p>\n<p>And, it\u2019s likely that your older student is behaving independently and responsibly and perhaps even eased up on the perceived involvement required from you. Frankly, many of the Classical Conversations Challenge students I\u2019ve met are great kids who are handling themselves with poise and increasing autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>But they\u2019ve never been (fill in the blank) age before.<\/p>\n<h3>Balancing Independence and Support<\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s my personal example: I\u2019ve raised five of six kids, and only a 16-year-old remains as my dependent. She\u2019s a good egg, a normal teen, and although courageous and optimistic, she has never navigated the waters of increasing responsibility and independence that are the current of her life right now.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, she passed her driver\u2019s test. But she still wants me in the car when she knows she must navigate a difficult traffic pattern or a particularly busy parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s applied for and holds a part-time job. But she still needs assistance confirming that she\u2019s handling her banking and taxes and has budgeted enough gas money.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s learning how to answer questions at her annual physical, but there are still blanks in her knowledge, and she learns from me when I partner with her during her exam. When I sign a HIPPA form, I make sure she\u2019s looking over my shoulder, or I might hand her the form and coach her as she fills in the blanks.<\/p>\n<p>She loves Jesus, participates willingly in church, faithfully attends youth group, and has meaningful friendships with fellow Christians. But she frequently poses huge questions of faith like, \u201cHow can I know my salvation is secure?.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those questions don\u2019t typically surface when we\u2019re grinding at the dining table on her upcoming Lincoln Douglas debate. Those questions come when she\u2019s unloading the dishwasher (fill in any kind of mundane or routine part of the day), and <strong>I\u2019m nearby<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Although administrative details like applying for financial aid, arranging college visits, and keeping up with a transcript take an increased timeshare, I spend just as much time helping her weigh what kind of future she is aiming for.<\/p>\n<p>She may not even need a transcript, given her current aspirations, so while I will be attentive to what administrative details <em>demand<\/em> my attention, I do not want to \u201cgive away\u201d time that could be better spent connecting with my girl.<\/p>\n<p>In case you missed it\u2014she\u2019s interested in technical certification related to a service profession. We shall see if we need that transcript or not!<\/p>\n<h3>Sibling Dynamics<\/h3>\n<p>Not to belabor the issue, but I\u2019ll share just one more personal example related to this point.<\/p>\n<p>When my youngest daughter was born, her oldest sibling was fifteen. It was his time to fly, so to speak, and in the first four years of her life, while she was taking naps and learning to toddle around, he was rapidly expanding his world beyond the boundaries of his boyhood bunkbed!<\/p>\n<p>He journeyed to the other side of the world for a month-long mission trip. He moved away from home for an extended internship before returning clearer on what he <strong>didn\u2019t want <\/strong>to dedicate his future to! He dated and then grew up through the eventual break-up with his first girlfriend. He bought his first car, struggled through online university classes, picked up a long-lasting hobby, explored online gaming, and began to take hold of what remains a personal code of honor rooted in virtue.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, he confirmed his faith in Christ and began to anchor himself in spiritual disciplines, the local church, and his personal relationship with the Savior.<\/p>\n<p>So you see, while she cuddled kittens, chased fireflies, and participated in her share of \u201ctime-outs,\u201d he launched his adult life. Both are essential, and one is not more important than the other. But we enjoyed the gift of her slow childhood while her brother rocketed toward final independence. We had more time left with her, and we purposed not to miss the fleeting time that remained with him.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Take the Long View<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Take the long view. Nobody can do it all.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a temptation to orient homeschooling through high school from a to-do perspective.<\/p>\n<p>As future stakes regarding the possibility of college, the options for a career, and the certainty of adulting are high, it\u2019s all too easy to panic about getting your student ready. It makes sense that parents pay increasing attention to what is required for a high school diploma, and to require more and more output from your student.<\/p>\n<p>But, each day has only 24 hours and each year only 365 days. You won\u2019t get it all done. Either you just breathed a sigh of relief since you already know that and were sorta holding your breath until such time as you could let yourself off the hook. Or, your panic just increased, justified by the myriad of inescapable action items before you order your student\u2019s cap and gown. Either reaction makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n<h3>The Relay Race<\/h3>\n<p>We must remember that we are raising our children to live full, flourishing, and faithful to their training lives. It\u2019s like a relay race. We have our turn running, but the objective of our turn around the track is to hand off the baton. The high school years can feel like that final stretch, where your legs burn, your eyes blur, your lungs cry for mercy\u2014and still, you press on. In so doing, it\u2019s tempting to focus on only your stretch of pavement.<\/p>\n<p>We easily forget that once we hand off the baton, there\u2019s a lifetime of learning and becoming ahead for our students. There\u2019s no way we\u2019ll equip them with everything they could possibly ever, in every circumstance, need to do, have, or be. So, rather than focusing singularly on the finish line (graduation), we all need to learn and remember that it\u2019s about equipping them to stay in the race.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Raise Resilient Kids<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Raise resilient kids. Show them how to be self-controlled, gritty, and relatable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our modern world and culture are increasingly fragile with issues, insecurities, and insurmountable complexities. And until we come to the end of the days numbered for us, the effects of our broken world will only compound and complicate. We must disciple our children toward the hope of the gospel and train them to have grit and gumption.<\/p>\n<p>Culture and Ted Talks will convince us of our shortcomings, necessary quick fixes, and how to 10x (again . . . fill in the blank). But the enduring work of raising resilient kids can\u2019t come from a YouTube short or an influencer who masquerades as an expert. Parent\u2014you are the current expert on your child. And you are training them to take over as self-aware, self-controlled, resilient experts on themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>A List of Skills to Cover<\/h3>\n<p>Some important topics to cover include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emotional processing and resiliency<\/li>\n<li>Identity<\/li>\n<li>Boundaries<\/li>\n<li>Conflict skills<\/li>\n<li>Spiritual disciplines<\/li>\n<li>Habits (deliberate practices)<\/li>\n<li>Healthy relationship skills<\/li>\n<li>Romance and intimacy<\/li>\n<li>Health and wellness<\/li>\n<li>Financial planning<\/li>\n<li>Career readiness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although the list could continue, you\u2019ve noticed that the work of homeschooling through high school exceeds what you\u2019ll capture on a transcript.<\/p>\n<h3>Show Up for Your Teenager<\/h3>\n<p>I realize that most of you are already aware of these broad areas of personal development, and you probably aren\u2019t looking at a curriculum or a program to fill these buckets. Rather, the danger I\u2019ve had to confront is that <strong>it\u2019s easier to talk about homework than it is to sit in whatever teenage struggle my 16-year-old brings to me today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, I do it well, and other times, I leave skin on the pavement, but the tip is this: Show up for your teenager as a parent, mentor, and compassionate but principled adult. Respect their struggles. Have patience with their shortcomings. Affirm their victories. Encourage their development. Remind them and convince yourself that learning and acquiring skills is a lifelong pursuit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Show them<\/strong> how to be self-controlled, resilient, gritty, and relatable humans!<\/p>\n<p>Becoming a virtuous, resilient human through the high school homeschool years is much like sailing; sometimes, you\u2019re becalmed, and sometimes, you\u2019re overtaken by storms. Most frequently, though, you tack back and forth to catch the prevailing wind while you steer toward your destination.<\/p>\n<h2>If I\u2019d Known Then<\/h2>\n<p>Humor me to conclude with what could be a picture book rhyme. I thought I knew it then; turns out I see more now.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Homeschooling through high school is more than it looks,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The lessons and values far surpassed what we found in books.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We learned that time together was the graduation key,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Me learning from you and you learning from me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Curriculum aside and to-do\u2019s less important than I knew,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In spite of what I didn\u2019t know, still, up you grew.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hindsight\u2019s 20\/20, and there\u2019s probably some things I\u2019d change,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But sailing this sea with you is one thing I\u2019d never exchange.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11125 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/the-sea.webp\" alt=\"The conclusion to a picture book rhyme.
