Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week we have a great episode for you. We asked our community what they are most discouraged by in their homeschooling. The responses that so many homeschooling moms had to share were real and relatable. We share some of their answers and try to provide some encouragement that discouraged homeschooling moms need to hear! We really enjoyed recording this episode, and hope you enjoy listening to it!    Before we jump in, we want to give a big thank you to Teaching Textbooks for supporting The Smiling Homeschooler. They offer one of the best math curriculums around, helping homeschoolers smile more every day. So, be sure to check them out at teachingtextbooks.com for your math needs this school year.   We’d also like to thank Homeschooling Today magazine for their support. If you’re looking for more encouragement and inspiration, head over to homeschoolingtoday.com and subscribe to their incredible magazine.   Lastly, if you enjoy our show, don't forget to share it with another homeschooling mom. This could be a great way to help spread some encouragement to those around you!    Have a great week and don't forget to smile!
