Little by Little Homeschool - Christian Homeschooling and Motherhood

Most homeschool moms are reassessing education and what that looks like in their homeschool. We want to prepare our children for their futures, but don't want to destroy their natural inclination towards curiosity.
Can it actually be done?
Let's explore this possibility and what it can look like in all of the various ages of our homeschool children.

In the homeschool world, there are so many opinions about everything. And every mom has them, along with a list of reasons to back up those convictions.
As I close in on my final homeschool graduate, I can look back and see that there were times I planted a flag so firmly in the ground that it blinded me to other possibilities. Even just this year, I had to rethink a decision.
There are definitely some lines to draw, but many can be adjusted. And that is why one of my new mottos is, "Never say never in homeschool."
Today's episode is all about having an honest chat to keep us from becoming too stuck in our ways or creep into legalism. Again, some lines and barriers must stay in place. But it's okay to rethink, reassess, and try something different.
I hope this episode encourages you as you evaluate this homeschool year and plan for the next!

I really wish that I didn't have to do this episode. But, it felt necessary with all the stories I have heard from many homeschool moms over the years.
Disagreements and different opinions are just a part of living life in relationship with other people. And you probably went into your co-op with happy thoughts of everything being perfect. But then, the bumpy road started showing through.
My goal is to pull back the veil a little bit, give you some perspective, and hopefully some guidance on how to walk through drama at your co-op, along with what is next.
There is always a way through...I promise.

As homeschool parents, we've heard all the one-liners about our choice to home educate our children. Maybe this is a new one for you though: "You are selfish for homeschooling your children."
Instantly, that comment can put us on the defense. And possibly curb our enthusiasm for homeschool now that it is considered "selfish."
Well, what do you think? Are you selfish or not?
Let's unpack this question and I'm going to give you my opinion, along with a perspective shift that will put that enthusiasm right back into your life.

The first thing most homeschool moms want to talk about is curriculum. And a big age range for that question is with preschool and kindergarten.
How should you introduce learning? What resources are best suited for young children? Do you even need a curriculum? And if so, what should it include?
Today, I am sharing with you my top suggestions for preschool and kindergarten homeschool curriculum. You'll want to jot those down.
But I won't just leave you there...I want to give you a few guidelines that will help you determine if one of these or a different curriculum is best for your child.
Also, I often say how I'd love to meet up and have coffee with you. Next month will be that opportunity and I'll share the details of where and when in this episode.
