Hello and welcome to another episode of Honey, Should We Homeschool? 🎙️

In this episode we're joined by guest Ethan and we'll be finding out what it's like to grow up homeschooled in a religious household with little social interaction? In this powerful episode, Ethan shares his honest story of being homeschooled from childhood through to his teens, and how his parents’ fears about the outside world shaped his experience.

We talk about the importance of socialisation in homeschooling, the impact of isolation on confidence and friendships, and what he wishes had been different. Whether you’re considering home education or already on that path, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how fear, faith, and family values can shape a child’s homeschooling journey.

As always, thank you so much for tuning in!
If you have any further questions for Ethan or ourselves get in touch via email at [email protected] or check out our socials linked below.

And don’t forget to leave us a review if you’ve enjoyed the podcast.
We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
See you next time! :)
