Little by Little Homeschool - Christian Homeschooling and Motherhood

It can be so easy to slip away from our first goals of homeschooling and become so rigid in our home education. The pressure from state requirements, family members, the desire for them to excel, or just getting lost in the weeds of what we are really preparing our children for is very common.
One thing that gets pushed easily to the back burner is creativity.
Children are naturally creative and as adults, with the weight of the world on our shoulders and a home full of children, it doesn't always feel important to protect and encourage creativity.
Whether you need to add or embrace creativity...or are wondering if you're doing enough of it...I have a few ideas on what this could look like in your homeschool.
Take some notes and then run with it and get creative yourself!

The academics are important in homeschool, but it wasn't the only reason you decided to homeschool. Were you hoping to preserve your children's innocence, time, and heart?
If so, it can be so easy to fill up and maximize every moment of the homeschool years. And those may be filled with really good things, but what if you look back someday and realize they lost childhood because of your zeal?
I have a few questions for you to think on as you consider if there is room for childhood in your homeschool. And I think this is a really good time of the year to weigh all your plans against the big picture of their childhood years.

392.Homeschooling Allows You To Rewrite The Story

It might be hard to imagine at the beginning of the homeschool year, but there will be hard days at times. Maybe even ones you'd call "bad." And it doesn't matter how long you've been homeschooling. Rough days are inevitable, no matter how much you plan, pivot, and work on attitudes.
Now that we know there will be some bad days, what is done in light of that bad day, is what is important.
These types of days can be turned into good for our homeschool when you learn how to recover from it.
Let's get you prepared so you can recover well and quickly...
