If this is your first time visiting my channel, welcome. And if you're returning... thank you! Glad you're here. I'm Marina Joy. I homeschooled three daughters for 11 years, discovering what most homeschool parents learn the hard way – middle school requires a completely different approach than elementary. Now, through my Middle School On Track System™, I help families build connection, character, and competence during the middle school years – it's the shift from managing to partnering that determines whether high school works or falls apart. I invite you to join the Moms of Middle Schoolers community. You'll get resources and encouragement in your inbox, plus free access to the monthly live workshop. Join here: tweentalk.co/community.
