186 // Handling Homeschool Opposition: Overcoming Criticism from Family & Friends


Listen Later

Have you ever experienced opposition from extended family when it comes to homeschooling your children? Especially your special needs, neurodiverse, or gifted child?

It can be tough to stand confidently behind your homeschooling and health decisions, while also addressing potential hurt feelings from those closest to you.

As parents, we want the best for our kids, and homeschooling can provide a unique and tailored education for each child. But what do you do when extended family members don't quite understand or support your choice?

The Charlotte Mason approach to homeschooling, which we also apply to our lifestyle, emphasizes a holistic education that recognizes the uniqueness of each child and aims to provide a tailored learning experience. Homeschooling can offer a unique and personalized education for special needs, neurodiverse, or gifted children, aligning with the core philosophy of Charlotte Mason. (Here is some free GOLD on this topic! <3 http://herhomeandheart.net/free )

Today we will talk together about ways to educate critical friends and family on the benefits of homeschooling and some tips to help find common ground.

But if that doesn’t work….

We will also talk about boundaries and solutions for those that just won’t ever support us.

As homeschooling parents of children with special needs, it's essential to protect our well-being and the well being of our children, which can be done by setting healthy boundaries with family members. Setting healthy boundaries with extended family members to protect the well-being of both the parent and the child reflects the importance of cultivating a nurturing and supportive atmosphere within a Charlotte Mason lifestyle. The emphasis on creating a safe environment for children to thrive and explore their full potential is consistent with the values of a Charlotte Mason education, which we can celebrate!
