As a homeschool mom, you are doing so many amazing things with your kids. you’ve already done such good work and there’s always time to redeem certain things, like not addressing their learning challenges as quickly as you might have seen them but not understood them.

Advice for Homeschool Mamas:
- Because we don’t want our kids labeled, having to take that step to assess our children feels like a reflection of our own inadequacies of teaching, which holds us back.
- If you’re not loving homeschooling, your kids aren’t loving it either.
- Have a regular connection time with your partner.
- Encourage the learning of living in life as your baseline intention in your homeschool.
- Be interested in learning yourself and follow your interests in your homeschool too.
- Our goal is to help our kids have a love of learning, so we encourage them to think outside the box.
- Sometimes self-care is really being with my child, because they are part of me.
