Thinking today about homeschooling and really ‘feeling’ that there is no one right way. Each child is different. Each parent and family culture is different. There is no need for a one size fits all.
Finding what ‘works’ for one child may take time, but you have that time. Finding what works for a parent who is very organised and needs structure will look different to a parent who needs spontaneity and space. But that is the gift of homeschooling, you can tailor it to suit your child, your family and yourself.
That is also the curse of homeschooling when you first begin. What could that look like? The options are overwhelming. We turn back to a school model. We turn to more experienced homeschoolers, we turn to curriculums and distance education. And along the way, we find our own way that works for us with some or none of those things. Just like any other part of our life, if a part stops working we change it. If we have a season of change we make room by letting something go and choosing later to pick it up again or move on.
I hope you feel it too - there is no one right way. Celebrate the uniqueness of you, your children and your path. xx
