It can be so easy to slip away from our first goals of homeschooling and become so rigid in our home education. The pressure from state requirements, family members, the desire for them to excel, or just getting lost in the weeds of what we are really preparing our children for is very common.One thing that gets pushed easily to the back burner is creativity.Children are naturally creative and as adults, with the weight of the world on our shoulders and a home full of children, it doesn't always

When you think about homeschool, your mind most likely goes straight to curriculum, co-ops, field trips, and so on. And that is totally understandable, as it is a part of homeschool.But, take a step back and look at the big picture of homeschooling. It's not just the education of particular subjects, but more like an entire way of living.Beyond the home education, moms have a lot to factor in.

One skill that can easily be overlooked as we raise our children is how they can conversate and relate to other people. Interpersonal skills are greatly underrated, yet we know as homeschool parents how it can help or hinder a young person.What if homeschoolers were the ones that showed their peers what it was like to have a thoughtful conversation with other people?They can be and I don't think we should wait around for others to figure out how to begin and hold a conversation.

I'm not knocking the homeschool curriculum. Actually, I am a fan of it. But something is very easily lost when we have quick and easy access {and guidance} to teach our homeschoolers.What if there is something to them earning their education?No, they don't need to pay for it in dollars and cents.Recently, I came across a video that had nothing to do with homeschooling, but it really got me thinking about the importance of something in educating children.Give this episode a listen and let me
