This was me at the beginning. 😂

I put a lot of energy into figuring out what we were going to learn, what resources we’d use, and what our “homeschool day” should look like.

Meanwhile, I hadn’t done nearly enough thinking about the bigger picture: How do we actually want to live?

Because homeschooling changes way more than where your kids do math.

Suddenly you have all this TIME together. Way more time than most people are used to! Psst - this is such a gift. Don’t fall into the modern trap of constantly complaining about this.

SO - how do you want your days to feel? What matters to your family? What does each person need? What are your kids interested in? Where do things like academics, play, outside time, responsibilities, friends, boredom, creativity, and rest fit?

Figure THAT out and then bring in curriculum and resources where they actually serve your family.

Because you can buy the perfect curriculum, plan the cutest unit studies, and make the most beautiful schedule 😇 … but if the whole way your family is living and learning isn’t working, none of that is going to feel very good.

Build the life first. Then figure out what belongs inside it.

You’ve got this, mama!

I don’t know about you, but I chose homeschooling partly because I wanted my kids to have more ownership over their lives and learning.

And then at some point I started noticing how often I was still the one deciding what came next … hello, micromanaging.

“What are we doing today?”
“Have you done this yet?”
“Don’t forget that.”
“Okay, screens off.”
… basically a reminder machine sometimes. 🫠

… and the thing is, I’m not TRYING to control our days. I’m just trying to make them good … trying to make them meaningful … trying to make sure they actually reflect our values.

It’s definitely a tension I’ve noticed that I think about a lot:

💡 If we want children who can direct their own lives, they need opportunities to actually practice directing them. 💡

To me, that doesn’t mean no boundaries, no expectations, no rhythms, no parental leadership … I actually think those things matter a lot.

So what I’m super interested in is deeply working through the tension and figuring out how to create a family culture strong enough that I don’t have to be the operating system for the entire family.

This is one aspect of our homeschooling journey that I’m currently super passionate about and hope to talk about more. It’s something we are actively working through and hoping to fine tune.

Does this tension show up in your house too?

Kinda chic didn’t fit … 💛

Children don’t enter the world waiting for us to teach them how to learn.

They touch. Dump. Climb. Ask. Test. Take apart. Repeat. Notice. Wonder. Try again.

The question that fascinates me isn’t how we create motivated learners.

It’s how we protect more of what was already there.

If you’re raising a wildly curious kid, send this to someone who gets it. 💛
