I’ve felt a sense of failure many times on our learning lifestyle journey and I’ve been at this for six years.
2020 was a really difficult time to begin homeschooling. More than 90% of our resources were taken away. We are hands on, experiential learners, almost nothing we do is online or “virtual.”
Even with all the resources, the start was rocky for us. We tried so many things and it was “giving up” that showed me how learning will occur without an authority figure demanding it. I’m now a devoted unschooler and concern myself more with their emotional, spiritual, and physical growth than academics.
Each family has to find its own groove. You’ll get there. You’ve got this.
