When Homeschool Feels Like Too Much: The Missing Skills No One Taught Us


Listen Later

I've been noticing on social media over the past few weeks that so many parents were itching to send their kids back to school, which wasn't surprising.

But what did surprise me was how many homeschooling parents are feeling tempted to throw in the towel, because it's just feeling so hard to keep going.

This has been stirring up a lot for me, especially for the parents who deeply desire to homeschool, but are feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, and without any other option.

I think it touches a tender place in my heart, because I can remember a time when I felt that way too. And so I've been reflecting recently on why I no longer do.

So in this week's podcast episode, I share what I've discovered!

I unpack a little bit of why it can feel really hard to be with our people all the time… and why it can feel confusing when we deeply desire connection, but we don't always know how to have it.

Especially when our kids seem to resist lessons, avoid assignments, and argue about chores!

Here's the main takeaway from today's episode that I deeply want you to get: if you are homeschooling and you feel that urge to send your kids away or have a break, nothing's wrong.

You are not broken. You probably just haven't been taught the tools to slow down and connect (with yourself or with them).

It is not too late. You can learn how to do this. You can learn how to connect with your kids in a way that is life-giving for both you and for them…

You can put your life in Right Order.

And when you do, you can feel more satisfied and fulfilled and content in your life exactly where you are.
