Hooked on Podcast 1.1 | HOME EDUCATION
Welcome to the Hooked On Podcast! In this very first episode we are Hooked on Homeschooling with veteran Home educator Heather Rice. Heather explains why her family chose to home educate their 5 children and how a typical day would have looked for the Rice household when the children were young. She also touches on some pros and cons of home education in Ireland. Parts 2 and 3 of Hooked on Homeschooling will be available to watch/listen in the coming weeks!
I am so excited to share my first podcast here with you and hope you enjoy the topic. If there's a particular topic or guest you would like to hear interviewed, please let me know. The Hooked On podcast explores similar topics to Mamma Magic - parenting/motherhood, pregnancy/birth, yoga/outdoor lifestyle.
About me:
Hi I’m Fiona! I am from Ireland, living in the heart of the Irish countryside with my husband, 4(!) children, dog, cat and 5 hens :-) I started this channel over 4 years ago as a way to document our family life and share tips about yoga, birth, breastfeeding and mothering. I have four children, all born at home, I breastfed/am breastfeeding and I practice many other elements of attachment parenting too. My third baby was born under a tree in our back garden - a most amazing garden birth - check out the birth video!! I am a yoga teacher specialising in Pregnancy and Birth and a breastfeeding support volunteer so many of my videos will cover these topics. Hit the subscribe button to never miss a video :)

    • @mammamagic5853
      @mammamagic5853 Před 2 měsíci

      In Ireland parents who want to home educate must provide the education themselves. There is another option of home tuition but the school is involved in that and it's only an option if the school cannot provide what your child needs. Good luck!

    It took me a long time to finally listen to your podcast. So sorry. It was so lovely to hear both your experiences. And yes, Fiona, you are right about many families moving to Ireland to home educate their children. It was our best decision to come here and live in Wexford where we are allowed to have all the freedom we want for our family. ❤
