We have been homeschooling for nine years now, and we know how it can be when you first start out.
“Am I capable or qualified for this?” “Where do I start?” “What do I need to teach?” ” Where can I find support?” “How does this work?” “Is this NORMAL?”
So many questions, and not many people to answer them!
I was over-homeschooling. For a long time, I thought homeschooling only had to be one way.
That’s not so!
Our first year went so well, we were so happy, but soon, we started to feel burned out.
We found it a struggle to homeschool, prepare dinner, do any kind of home-making and work, let alone take care of ourselves.
We hated being a slave to curriculum, and feeling as if we’d failed because we didn’t get through an entire book.
After that year, we were determined to find new ways, and we have!
Now, we enjoy new ways to work and teach, taking away the slave to school mentality and allow our kids to fall in love with education, not “schooling.”
We are not experts, but here at Randomnestfamily.org, we come alongside you as an experienced friend and homeschooler, to share with you all what we have learned: our ups and downs, and to share the tools we’ve created to help you become more CONFIDENT, RELAXED, and KNOWLEDGEABLE, about everything homeschool.
This is why we started our homeschool 101 series, and decided to offer parents a place to simply homeschool their kids.
