In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Laurie Zienchuk, a seasoned homeschool mom of two sons from Lethbridge, Alberta. Laurie shares her family's journey and decision to homeschool while living abroad in countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia. We discuss the challenges and rewards of home education, the importance of creating simple, engaging routines, and the impact of a supportive family environment. Laurie also talks about transitioning back to Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of outdoor and hands-on learning, and the significance of keeping future opportunities open for children. This episode is filled with insightful advice for both new and experienced homeschoolers.
