Hi Homeschool mom! It's the holidays! Get excited! This week we share why "Distracting December" is one of the best times to press pause — especially if you’re homeschooling special needs kids who struggle with reading, math, or focus.  A slower December can actually help them learn better. Children's brains need downtime to process, consolidate, and reset, and this time of year gives you a natural window to let that happen. You’ll hear simple, realistic homeschool holiday ideas that count as meaningful learning during Christmas time: baking, card-writing, music, creating gifts, storytelling, and more. These “life school” moments support struggling learners without adding pressure during an already full month.  Enjoy this time!   Holiday Blessings, Kim and Jenny❤️💚   Want Support All December Long? Our online community is open 24/7 with forums, direct messaging, office hours, and gentle strategy for keeping December underwhelmed — especially for moms who are homeschooling kids with learning disabilities or have struggling readers. 🎁 Gift Membership Want to ask for The Homeschool Well as a Christmas gift?
