How to Avoid Homeschool Burnout – Be Aware of Homeschool Peer Pressure

Coming to a place of “burnout” as a homeschooling parent, or as a home schooler, means that somewhere in the process, we have lost sight of our goals.  One of the many reasons parents choose to homeschool is that they want to enjoy time with their children. We see homeschooling as an opportunity to spend worthwhile time with our child, exploring learning together, and walking the exciting road side by side. Opening the world to our children is a delight and we enthusiastically begin by talking, reading, walking, and sharing life. However, it isn’t long before “comparison” steps in and we begin to doubt if we are giving our child...

Some may raise the cry of 'brainwashed', but I care not. My children are incredibly happy and excited about life. If that is brainwashing, so be it. It disturbs me that parents today shy from instilling solid values, even Christian values, into their children. As...

My Foundation

My Foundation for Homeschooling... I could never homeschool! I mean, I'm not organized, patient, educated (fill in the blank) enough to do that. And what about 'me time?' I had never seen myself as a homeschooler, it wasn't in my game plan. Not for me! Hehehe... Boy, did God have different, and far better, plans for me! And I'm so glad! When my oldest son was 3 1/2 he asked me to homeschool him. So I had to do some searching and I needed a strong scriptural foundation...

In most cases, they would even find it to be detrimental in many ways including spiritually and emotionally as well as intellectually. Sometimes this decision is made prior to what the state considers "compulsory age" sometimes it is...
