Hal and Melanie have been on this network since nearly the beginning. Felice met them on the conference circuit, asked if they would podcast, and they said yes — and they are still here thirteen years later.
For the network’s birthday, every host answers one question a real homeschool mom actually asked. This is that episode.
Their question: “Your boys will not sit still, and you are out of ideas.”
You know the answer if you have been listening a while, but it never stops being true: boys need to move, and the research backs it up. When they use their big muscle groups, they actually learn better. The clip comes from Boy-Friendly Homeschooling — go hear the whole thing if the mini-trampoline idea catches you.
Also in this episode: Felice Gerwitz on whether to homeschool at all · Dr. Melanie Wilson on why you are already behind · the 7Sisters on the high school transcript · Sue Myers on a fever and a two-year-old · Meryl van der Merwe on teenagers and AI · Meredith Curtis on getting the joy back · Lisa Nehring on life skills before they launch.
