Connection with my kids initially got worse when we started homeschooling. I was the teacher, and they should just do what I decided they should do because I said so! And guess how great those days were. . .

I will end by saying it’s not magic, and it’s not perfect, but having a clear vision with homeschool has significantly reduced the tension and push back I got before.
Homeschooling is busy, you’re with your kids all the time, and often they can give you a hard time about getting their school work done. You may at times think “WHEN CAN I JUST GET ONE MINUTE OF PEACE TO MYSELF?!”
“Isn’t homeschooling already a little less conventional?” And while I would agree with you, our new path is actually even less frequented. It’s somewhat grown over, so to speak. Yet beloved by those who travel it. We are unschooling.
Does your kiddo love animals? Mine too! This book is a great way to introduce art by famous artists from around the world and throughout time.
You may at times think “WHEN CAN I JUST GET ONE MINUTE OF PEACE TO MYSELF?!” Well, guess what mama, I’m here to tell you that the answer is never, unless you schedule it.
Math and reading and everything else are certainly important, but to me, the most important thing I can do for my children is to help them develop a relationship with God and to become good human beings. The rest will all work out!
Don’t wait until all else fails to choose God, include Him first and trust that He will lead you on this journey to care for His precious children.
Homeschooling is not for the faint of heart! It’s challenging sometimes, it can just be plain terrible some days, but I find that if we focus on the good that is happening it can really diminish the negatives. It will help you feel more confident as the teacher and your child(ren) will be more appreciative of this time together.
