With all the talk about following children's interests and nurturing their passions early, this is a common worry. But understanding what's really happening during this stage of childhood will completely change how you see your child's play.
Have you ever watched your child completely absorbed in something they love, and felt that familiar tension rise up? That voice inside you that says 'yes, but... when are we going to do some real work, and some real learning?'
You know what one of the most powerful tools in my home educating toolkit is? It's something I actually learned from my professional life, and it's transformed how I connect with my kids. It's called a one-on-one, or 1:1, and today I want to tell you why it matters so much.
It might sound strange, but I'm actually grateful when someone asks me about burnout in home education. Not because I enjoy hearing about their struggles, but because it means they're being honest about something we all face at times.
You know what question I hear all the time? 'Where can I find a good home ed community?' It's presented as this essential piece of the home education puzzle - like if you don't have a regular meetup group with other homeschooling families, you're somehow missing something vital...
You know that moment when the day starts feeling a bit...off? When the energy in your home has dropped, and you can sense things drifting? Today I want to talk about why you shouldn't be afraid to step in and steer things when that happens.
