#169: Homeschooled, Sheltered & Addicted Young: A Conversation Every Parent Needs to Hear

May 9
37 mins

Episode Description

What happens when someone who hated being homeschooled grows up and chooses to homeschool his own children anyway?

In this deeply honest conversation, Logan Hufford shares what homeschooling looked like growing up in a large family in the 90s, why he resented parts of it for years, and what he’s doing differently with his own kids today.

We also talk about something many parents are afraid to discuss openly: what children are being exposed to online at shockingly young ages — and how silence, shame, and lack of conversation can impact kids long-term.

Inside this episode:
• what Logan wishes his parents had done differently
• how over-sheltering can backfire
• pornography addiction and dopamine-driven behavior
• why vulnerable conversations matter more than perfect parenting
• how to talk to kids without creating shame
• the reality of parenting in the internet era
• resources parents can use to start age-appropriate conversations

This is a sensitive but incredibly important discussion for both homeschooling and non-homeschooling families alike.

Listener discretion advised for younger ears.
