Large Family Homeschooling: From Traditional Teacher To Homeschool Mom Of 10

Have you ever wondered how some moms manage to homeschool a large family—when homeschooling just a few children can already feel overwhelming?

Penney Douglas homeschooled all ten of her children, but her homeschool didn’t turn out anything like she imagined it would. Along the way, unexpected challenges forced her to rethink what successful homeschooling really looks like.

In this episode of The Homeschool Sanity Show, Penney shares the lessons she learned through more than 27 years of homeschooling—including what she had to change, what she had to let go of, and what ultimately made homeschooling a large family manageable.

We also talk about the surprising benefits her children gained from growing up and learning together—and the encouragement she would give the homeschool mom who feels like she simply can’t keep up.

If you’ve ever thought, “How am I supposed to do all of this?” you’ll want to hear Penney’s perspective.

We also discuss Penney’s book, Dear Struggling Homeschool Mom, I See You, written for the mom who needs reassurance that homeschooling doesn’t have to look perfect to be successful.
