Diane Geerlinks 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.
