Centering Student Voice at Home
These tips are more than “nice ideas”. They are real solutions to everyday homeschool stress. Student-centered strategies can increase motivation, reduce power struggles, and help kids take more ownership of their learning, which often makes the day run more smoothly for parents too. The tips I share here are designed as real solutions for parents: giving kids more voice in their learning can boost motivation, cut down on battles, and help you stop feeling like you have to “push” all day long. When children help set goals, make choices, and reflect on their progress, they become more independent learners—and that means less pressure on you to carry everything alone. If you’re tired of nagging, repeating directions, or feeling like the “mean teacher” at home, these ideas are meant to give you relief, not more work. Which one would you like to try?
