This month while Dr. Melanie Wilson is taking a podcasting break, we’re replaying some of her best shows! This show, Homeschooling Boys, is her second top show based on number of listens on the podcast channel. Enjoy!
I homeschooled boys and only boys until my fifth child was a girl. I asked my Periscope viewers if homeschooling boys was really different. We had an interesting discussion that you can watch at the end of this post. I decided to determine what differences have actually been demonstrated in research. I can’t wait to share with you what I found and how we can make positive changes in our homeschools.
