030 End of School Year Reflection: What to do When Things Aren't Working
❓When your close friends or family question your choice to educate your children at home, do you take it deeply personally? ❓When asked why you homeschool, do you stumble for a reasonably articulate and educated answer to convince them of your choice? ❓Do you find other people’s fears about homeschooling starting to transfer to your thinking? Educating our children at home is an important responsibility that can’t be taken lightly. We can’t do it without the support of our close friends and extended family.

028 Are you Having Fun? How a Change of Attitude Can Affect Your Home Education Experience
⁉️ Are you overwhelmed by the curriculum options available? ⁉️ You’re not sure where to start! ⁉️ And with many homeschool conferences being online, do you fear you won’t have the opportunity to learn about curriculums available When I started educating my children at home I used the curriculum a generous friend passed on to me. How was I to know it would be so disastrous for us?! My kinesthetic boy just wanted to move around, explore and experiment. My reading/ writing son just wanted to be left alone to read what interested him, while my visual-learning son preferred to watch a movie or look at the pictures of trade magazines to learn about electronics. And I had my children tied to a chair (sometimes literally!) listening to me jabber on, reading textbooks and filling in worksheets. None of us were happy and they weren’t learning. Can you relate?! Join our encouraging discussion as we explore curriculum options best suited to your child and his learning style.
