Lisa Marie Fletcher is the voice behind the website, The Canadian Homeschooler – a popular first stop for parents looking for help getting started with homeschooling and for those searching for Canadian homeschooling resources.
More than a decade of teaching five children at home has given her plenty of experience on the path.
Today on the podcast, I chat with Lisa Marie Fletcher from the Canadian Homeschooler.
Homeschool balance is a myth, because it should be about priority, not balance. We need to put a heavier weight on the thing that is the most important in the moment, not how many things can I equal out over time.
Lisa Marie Fletcher, Creator of The Canadian Homeschooler
What we discussed in this podcast episode…
- Why self-care is so challenging for Lisa Marie to get
- How we have to see ourselves as separate people from our family; otherwise we’ll burn out.
- How do we recognize our triggers so we can be our best selves as moms to our kids?
- We discuss how we need to prioritize the most important thing needed versus balance.
- Why eyeball-to-eyeball time is important for at least 15 minutes a day.
- Why we don’t need to worry about the kids being bored?
- What our kids have taught us along the way.
I found myself lying on my living room floor in tears, while some of the kids are fighting, some are running upstairs looking for pencils, I’ve got a toddler and a baby, and I was crying my eyes out. I had no idea what I was going to do. I feel like a failure. I’m such a fraud. This was a major struggle I had to deal with.
