She Homeschooled 7 Kids—Here’s How They Learned to Teach Themselves | Podcast 3: Michelle Jones

How do you homeschool seven children without trying to teach them all the same way? In this episode, Melissa talks with Michelle Jones, who began homeschooling more than 30 years ago and now has seven adult children. Michelle shares how she moved from rigid schedules and workbooks toward an education shaped by each child’s needs and interests. She talks about the spelling tests she let go of, the family routines that helped her manage a busy home, and the health crisis that pushed her older children to become independent learners. They also discuss homeschooling through high school, preparing for college, and the question that kept Michelle awake for years: “Am I ruining my children?” Her story offers practical ideas and reassurance for parents who want their children to love learning and feel ready for what comes next.
