Are you afraid to embrace the freedom homeschool offers?
Do you fear what others think?
If you do something different than school at home,
do you worry that your family and friends just won't understand?
Does doing something different, or being considered odd,
make you cringe?
What holds you back from embracing all the freedom
homeschooling offers?
Are you trying to homeschool like your friend
and it just isn't working for your family?
Do you think you've chosen the less than path
in homeschooling because of these choices?
There is diversity in homeschooling!
Embrace your family's unique path.
There is opportunity to make changes,
and to do things differently.
Sure, you will make mistakes. We all do.
{I know I have made plenty.}
Learn from your mistakes, and make the necessary changes.
Learn from others' mistakes as well.
{Sometimes, I think those that have messed up a lot,
have more to teach us than those who did it all correctly the first time.}
As we close out one school year,
and begin planning for another,
it is a fabulous time to embrace your family's freedom,
making the changes you need to for your family.
Homeschooling does work.
It works for each family in a unique way.
Find your family's homeschooling path, don't try to walk another's.
And, please, don't let fear stop you from trying something different next year.
Embrace all the freedoms homeschooling has for you!
