Homeschool Hints: How We Do It is a storytelling podcast for parents who are curious about homeschooling but unsure where to begin. Hosted by a homeschooling mom of four still figuring it out day by day, each episode shares what’s working, what’s messy, and the little wins that remind us why it’s worth it. Honest conversations, real families, and just enough encouragement to help you start strong—and keep going.
In this episode, we chat with Mr. Dave, a seasoned teacher, homeschool dad, and founder of Waterstone Academy. You’ll hear why one of the best things you can do for your homeschool isn’t adding more—it’s stopping what’s not working. From curriculum tweaks to energy crashes to discovering your child’s learning style, this one’s full of insight and practical encouragement.
