About this episode
In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Wendy and Bill Creed from southern Alberta, Canada. Wendy and Bill are pioneer homeschoolers and have influenced countless families where they live. In our interview, we discuss a wide variety of homeschooling topics and concerns. Wendy teaches us that life is our education and learning is our opportunity in everything we do. She explains why a supportive spouse is essential, and why mothers need to be validated regularly to stay motivated with their homeschooling efforts. The greatest challenge in homeschooling is wondering how our children will turn out and if we’re doing enough and if it all works. She reminds parents to make sure that we teach when kids are ready to learn, and to not teach until they are in a state of readiness. Parents are best suited to teach their kids because they love them and care more for their futures than anyone else. Above all other concerns, Wendy invites us to love and focus on our children.
