TB 39: The Disruptive Homeschooler - Part 4 The Talker

In this series, we have been discussing what to do when your homeschooler disrupts the school day.  This podcast discusses the talker. This is the child who just can't seem to stop disrupting, because they just have to tell you one more thing. 

Chaz and Christie give tips and insights into the talker and how to help them use their natural inclination to learn and develop, while still maintaining stability in the classroom. Chaz describes what it was like being a homeschool talker and the frustrations of having to keep quiet when he had so much to share.

He then goes on to share how his mom, Christie, used his talkative, outgoing nature to help him develop leadership skills in their homeschool environment. These skills gave him a great start into adult life and his present career. He strongly encourages parents to acknowledge their child's natural inclinations as they develop a plan for not just ending disruptions in the classroom, but also to help their child grow and mature through the homeschool experience.
