If you teach creative teens, you know how true thi If you teach creative teens, you know how true this is. πŸ‘Š

Creativity IS a messy process and sometimes the finished products are so few and far between, we worry about how much time is wasted when there's other boxes to check on the high school list. βœ…

But, here's the thing. Our creative teens are always learning. Failed, messy, chaotic projects are the learning pathways that make a huge difference for our teens. πŸ™Œ

Let's talk more about homeschooling creative teens! Click through the link in my profile to download your free guide called 10 Myths You're Believing about Your Out-of-the-Box Teen that Are Holding Them Back. 🀩

I can't wait to get you on the road to helping your creative teen thrive now and in the college years. Woot! ✌️
Reading with my teens is the single most valuable Reading with my teens is the single most valuable activity in our homeschool. πŸ“š 

Whether we are reading aloud together or reading in a book club style, fashioning our conversation around shared story worlds has given us countless opportunities for staying connected.πŸ˜πŸ™Œ

It doesn't have to be difficult literature. It doesn't have to meet the typical choice for teens and young adults. It doesn't even have to meet an expectation for what teen guys or girls might like. πŸ’™

Some of our best reading conversations happen when my teen boys read Little Women or Anne of Green Gables. I think my next reading adventure with them will be a Jane Austen title. You haven't lived until you hear the running commentary from your teens on classics like these! πŸ˜‚

Wilson Bentley was obsessed with the shapes of snowflakes and I can see why. Once you see one close up, you want to keep searching for new designs!

But, you need a cold and snowy day well below freezing to see the best ones. 🌨🌬

Will they be ripe enough in January? πŸ’™β„οΈ

I sure hope so because I upgraded from a compound light microscope to a stereo dissecting scope to increase my field of vision and capture a whole snowflake! β„οΈπŸ”¬

The freedom to mentor our teens as they build expe The freedom to mentor our teens as they build expertise in the high school years is invaluable. πŸ’™

People ask me all the time how we've been able to help our teens build skill and interest during high school and still check all the boxes that come with being a high school student. πŸ€”

This is a BIG part of that process. Allowing our teens the time to explore and gain experience in their areas of interest is a big deal. πŸ’‘πŸ™Œ

I'm going to be doing a series for the rest of the month and into January about setting our teens up for success with their goals. βœ…
