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.
The deeper I go into home education, the more I find myself spending time in my own experiences and reflections. I've started recording these as mini episodes. Short, raw takes on things I think matter.
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.
You know that feeling when you're scrolling through Instagram, seeing all these perfectly curated homeschool spaces, and suddenly you look up at your kitchen table - squeezed between breakfast dishes and laundry waiting to be folded - and think...'am I even doing this right?'.
Have you ever been asked 'what school your kids go to?' and felt that little knot in your stomach about how to answer? Today I want to talk about why I don't tell people I homeschool or unschool...and what I say instead.
