This homeschool thing is a marathon, not a sprint. So run it like you’d run a marathon. You have to stop and take breaks and refuel and sometimes just stop for a minute and take a deep breath.

In Kara S. Anderson’s book, More than Enough, you find advice for homeschool parents:
- On the hard days, don’t doubt yourself or your kids.
- Know that combining school and home has its challenges.
- Some days are bumpy.
- On those days, curl up with snacks and good books.
- Or hop in the car and listen to audiobooks while you go get ice cream.
- Start slow and gently.
- Layer more in as you build confidence and your kids get used to the routine of homeschooling.
- It’s important not to get caught up in the methodology or style of homeschooling.
- It’s great to research.
- Pick things that work for your family and build your own style based on experience and trial and error.
- We all go through lots of trial and error.
- Don’t worry, it’s normal as you find your way.
