Movie Schooling for Sick Days, Hard Days, and Vacation Days: Homeschooling That Still Counts #331
Episode 331
Thursday, 18 December, 2025
There are seasons of homeschooling when everything feels heavier than usual. The holidays are busy, the semester is winding down, medical needs don’t pause, and ADHD brains—ours and our kids’—are already stretched thin.In this episode, I share how movie schooling has supported our family for years as a way to keep learning connected, meaningful, and low-pressure. I talk about how learning through stories—books, movies, and shared conversation—helps children understand history, culture, and character at a deeper level, and why this approach works especially well for ADHD and overwhelmed brains.I also share simple movie ideas you can use right away, how this kind of learning can still count for homeschooling (even in a portfolio state), and why learning through connection often sticks longer than worksheets ever could.If you’re tired, sick, stretched thin, or quietly wondering how to keep learning going without burning out, this episode is meant to feel like a gentle place to land.💛 **If this episode encourages you, would you share it with another Christian homeschool mom who’s craving peace and purpose at home?
