If I could give one piece of advice to homeschooling parents today, it would be this: Don’t let the joy get lost in the process. Seek out those “chocolate volcano” moments.
In many circumstances, including a margin is essential for a positive outcome.
This winter, embrace the season with confidence, knowing you have a plan in place. The blues don’t stand a chance when joy is part of your homeschool day!
Being housebound doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice physical activity. When exercise feels like play, everyone wins!
When life throws curveballs and disrupts our carefully laid plans, we can feel disheartened. Sometimes, though, these challenges can lead to unexpected blessings.
Please don’t fall into the comparison trap like I did. Your children are unique. Everyone has different gifts, and they display them in their own ways.
We sometimes beat ourselves up because we can’t do all the things we think we “should” be doing without ever questioning whether they’re the right choices for us to begin with.
Life is easier when you know which way to go. A well-marked course is simple to follow. Unfortunately, the path forward isn't always obvious.
Should we feel guilty for taking a break from homeschooling to focus on the holidays?
