About This Workshop

Let’s be real—middle schoolers are weird. One minute they’re arguing like a lawyer about bedtime; the next, they’re crying because their sandwich was 'cut wrong.' Homeschooling this age is a unique challenge—and a total blast if you know what you’re doing. In this session, we’ll dive into the mystery of the middle school brain and uncover practical ways to motivate a kid who’s totally over it. We’ll tackle what they actually need to learn—academics, life skills, and maybe just a smidge of how to fold their laundry without drama. Plus, I’ll share tips on building independence, managing moods, and keeping your sanity. Whether you’re laughing, crying, or just trying to survive, this guide will leave you ready to embrace the chaos and rock middle school homeschooling!
