Thank you for the fun learning sheets. Have a beautiful summer!
I would say be patient. And be willing to make mistakes!
Once you’ve chosen your curriculum, stick with it and don’t be distracted by continuing to shop or looking to see what others are using. You will only start doubting yourself. Stick with it through the kid’s dislike, don’t let them run the show. You can make your curriculum choices work for you with a little tweaking here and there, simplifying or enriching. You use the curriculum, not the other way around. You can do it.
The best tip that I can offer is to stay organized and on schedule.
Be consistent.
Don’t rush your kids. They’ll get it in time if you keep at it.
Nurture relationships.
My best tip: Don’t compare your kids and your homeschool to others. We are all different, so different things work for different families and even each child’s journey is going to be different. And that’s absolutely okay.
Be willing to ask for help when you’re struggling.
I would also advise a schedule! So important!
Understand your child’s learning style and always find humor throughout the day.
Don’t be afraid to learn along with your children.
Best advice I always give other homeschool moms is to keep it simple!
Don’t worry yourself with having allll the things, keep it simple.
Comparison is the thief of joy! Don’t forget why you’re homeschooling and enjoy your time with your kids. Worry less about how others do it because their family is totally different than yours!
Don’t try to rush them learning something. Let them go at their pace.
Don’t be too hard on yourself or your kids and let school flow with life.
Make relationships the most important part of your homeschool.
I think being patience would be one of the biggest rules of thumb.
To truly teach a learner we must be a learner! Model what learning looks like throughout your day and your kids will learn to love learning. And read with them every day – lots!
Mi will tell Moms it’s ok relax, work on character build, and read a lot out loud. I read somewhere to have as afternoon tea time and enjoy your kids. Talk about silly things, connect as a mom, not the teachers.
You are not alone, reach out to other homeschool parents. Have a good support system. Keep a flexible schedule. If things don’t go as planned, don’t stress, that’s the beauty of homeschool, playtime is learning time. Keep it simple.
Be patient and kind to your children. Give them grace.
Consistency for most things is key. Switch your routine up from time to time. If they don’t understand, present in a new light.
Give your kids time to explore their interests.
Take a deep breath. It WILL be ok. It’s worth it!! Find what works for you both and roll with it. HAVE FUN!!!
My advice is to not stress about the small stuff and enjoy each day.
Try to include fun activities to make learning fun!
I would tell her if something isn’t working, it’s okay to close the book and try again tomorrow. If it doesn’t work after a few tries, it’s okay to scrap the whole book. There is no wrong way to homeschool, as long as your goal is to educate your child. We are all doing our best, and our kids are all successful!!!
