I was recently replying to a friend’s question asking for advice as she’s jumping into homeschooling for the first time. I thought sharing my answer might help someone else as well.⠀My advice….Listen to your kids more than any book, expert or curriculum. ⠀⠀If it’s not working ditch it fast and keep looking until you find something that does. ⠀⠀Don’t feel obligated to finish curriculum, lessons, books or even a weeks perfectly laid out plan. ⠀⠀Relationships first. If you get out of sinc with your child and school becomes a chore or a sore spot, take a pause and do things just to nurture the relationship….no matter how long that takes. ⠀⠀You are in charge. ⠀⠀You are in charge. ⠀⠀You are in charge. ⠀⠀If you’re stumped about anything go to God first, then maybe a trusted friend. You’ll go crazy on all of the homeschooling advice. 🤣🤣 ⠀⠀Take breaks often. We school year around 6 weeks on and 1 week off most of the time. ⠀⠀Chase the sparks of your kids questions and interests over what the curriculum says to do. ⠀⠀Veer off course a lot 😉. ⠀⠀HAVE FUN!!!!!! ⠀⠀If you love it they will. If you hate it they will too.❤️❤️ {as you can see Asher got the pencil he was after 📝}
