If you’re homeschooling a middle schooler and they won’t start schoolwork unless you sit beside them, this video is for you.

Maybe you feel like you have to initiate everything.
You have to remind.
You have to sit down.
You have to get it moving.

And you’re tired.

In this episode, I’m answering the question:

*Why won’t my middle schooler start their schoolwork without me?*

We’ll talk about what’s actually happening in this stage of development, why middle school is a training ground for independence, and what you can do this week to start shifting the responsibility off of you — without creating daily battles.

You’ll leave with one practical tool you can use immediately to help your middle schooler begin work on their own.

Welcome to Homeschooling Middle School — where we focus specifically on this stage. Because homeschooling middle school is not the same as homeschooling elementary, and it’s not high school either.

This is the training ground.

You still have significant influence here. (Yes, really!)
