Question of the Week

What advice do you have for those that are new to homeschooling?

Take time to create at least one positive, meaningful moment with each child per day, even if it only takes a minute or two. Let those moments fill up your "bank" so that on the hard days when you question what you are doing, you have that bank of positive moments to draw on to remind yourself why you are homeschooling: your relationship with your child. It can serve to motivate you to keep going through the hard stuff or adjustments, because it always gets better, with time. Making time for meaningful moments also helps the kids to respond better to what you want them to do later, since they have had that little bit of time with you to just feel loved and valued, with no strings attached.

I say remember why you are homeschooling. During the hard times remember that you did this for the best interest of your child. Remember that your child is an individual, and that  what works for one may not work for all. And most of all remember to have Joy in the Journey!
