100 Helpful Homeschool Habits


Helpful homeschool habits. Over the years with babies, toddlers, stacks of school books, hungry mouths and now towering teens, these are the basic routes I’ve discovered for seeing results. (And honestly, for keeping my sanity in that daily does of chaos with five children!) Over 100 helpful homeschool habits.

In our over fourteen years of homeschooling, our habits have been the ‘bones’ of our day. Our habits help us accomplish a basic school day and get food on the table. We leaned on one or two habits more heavily when all our children were age 10 and under. And we’ve tweaked habits to meet our needs with growing children.

Now remember that all of these habits have been built over our 17 years of parenting. So, I advise you, pick one or two habits that would help you the most. Zone in on some things that seems to be derailing your homeschool day – and work on building the habits that help. That’s how all our best habits started. Small steps, a little bit at a time.

I hope that you will find a few helpful homeschool habits that will bless your family too!
