Reimagine your Homeschool...

If I had babies all over again or if I could homeschool my babies all over again, I would do things a WHOLE lot differently.

What would I do differently, you ask? (You didn't ask, but I'll assume you did;)

1. I'd clarify my why by aligning my values and vision with my practical day-to-day activities and choices.  

2. I'd explore strategies to turn my oft-repeated moments of frustration and overwhelm into opportunities for growth. (Instead of resisting them, or blaming others for them). I'd go inward and learn about my triggers, thoughts, and mindsets that worked against my growth.

3. I'd lean into child-led learning, despite my fascination with Charlotte Mason, Susan Wise Bauer, a multitude of coloured markers, and daytimers. (So that my home education efforts would benefit my kids AND so external opinions wouldn't sway my path or confidence).

4. I'd work with a coach (I really would! Coaching has been such a powerful shifter toward my happiness & peace & helped me release unhelpful mindsets even in my homeschool via deschooling).

5. I'd use all that I understand about how kids ARE and what MY needs are, and I'd revamp my routines, planners, & curriculum choices. And I'd time block my LIFE.

6. I'd hyperwarp everything I learned about myself, my internal boundaries, external boundaries, sense of self, and how I can nurture the nurturer (me) so I could nurture healthier family dynamics, understand & nurture my kids more completely, no matter how challenging I found each of their personalities.

7. I'd find someone to help me learn strategies to handle my big emotions, doubts, and overwhelm in a nurturing way (& therefore, learn to nurture my kids' big emotions too!)

8. I'd embrace this one VERY important mothering truth: there is not ONE right way to mother perfectly, and there won't be a time that I'll declare I did it perfectly either, so I'll accept that the goal of mothering isn't making a product out of my kiddos, but rather, to grow right alongside them (with their help;) and discover how imperfection can lead to my confident homeschool and life choices. 

So, yeah, I'd do things a whole lot differently!

This is for you if...

• You're not sure you're doing this homeschool thing good enough.
• You know you’re not showing up as you’d like in your family: you’re angry, stressed, or overwhelmed more than you want.
• You don’t know how to relate to each of your kids.
• You’re feeling lonely and disconnected.
• You're struggling alone.
• You've been struggling for too long.
• You’ve wondered if it really is there year to send them back to school.
• You want to know how to let go of unrealistic expectations, but you don’t know where to start!
• You want to lean into your kiddo’s curiosities, but letting go of schooled ideas is so hard.
• You wonder if you were trained as a teacher, this homeschool thing would be easier.
• You’re not sure which homeschool method or curriculum is the right one for you and your kids.
• You know you should probably learn a few things about homeschooling, child development, and learning, but you don’t know where to start: there’s so much to research!
• You want someone to guide you in deciding on a homeschool routine, a morning routine, how to use a daytimer, create a portfolio, how to set up a homeschool space, and how to decide on curriculum/resources/extracurriculars.
• You want to know how to deal with toddlers, teenagers, more than one kiddo, just one kiddo.
• You don’t know how to motivate your kids or prevent them from getting bored.
• You want to bounce off your questions and concerns with someone who has been there done that.
• You want to hear from an authentic homeschool mom who has found a way to overcome those struggles.
• You feel like a fish out of water: homeschool is new to you and you need a guide outside of Facebook threads and social media!
• You want to know for sure that the way you're doing it is good enough.
• You want to feel connected in an authentic, supportive homeschool community.
• You know you'd be more confident if you had someone encouraging you.

Do you identify with these homeschool mamas?

This is what we’re going to discuss and clarify in our 8 weeks together:

Element 1: Find Purpose Amid Challenges

Uncover the 'why' via your values & vision in your homeschool journey and how it fuels your resilience.

When we know why we're doing what we're doing, that we can wake up every morning and know it has a purpose, we can weather our challenges more easily.

Element 2: Embrace Frustration & Overwhelm

Learn effective strategies to turn challenging emotions & moments into opportunities for growth.

When we create a plan (& a practice) to address our moments of frustration or overwhelm, we don't dread the hard homeschool moments. 

Element 3: Define Your Educational Intentions

Craft a clear intention for your homeschool, aligned with your beliefs and aspirations, and lean into child-led learning.

When we're clear on what we believe an education is anyway, what the purpose of our home education intentions is, we don't flounder when someone shares a new curriculum, routine, method, or criticizes our "way".

Element 4: Unpack Unhelpful Mindsets & Expectations 

Release unhelpful mindsets to create space for a fulfilling, child-led education, meaningful memories, and a more purposeful life. 

When we explore our unhelpful mindsets from our own experience of education and explore the unhelpful mindsets of our culture's approach to education, we can release ourselves from unrealistic expectations, focus on our family, and enable a more child-led education.

Element 5: Streamline Daily Homeschooling

Rejig your routines, planners, and curriculum choices for a more organized and joyful homeschool by learning to time block your life. 

When we clarify our plans around morning routines, daily routines, homeschool planners, and curriculum choices, we don't need to be drawn into yet another idea about homeschooling: we can just do our thing.

Element 6: Achieve Long-Term Success

Tackle challenges specific to different family dynamics and ensure a sustainable homeschool journey.

When we create a plan to address the challenges of large-family homeschooling, small-family homeschooling, toddlers, teenagers, sibling rivalry, complaining, conflict, and boredom, we feel we can do this homeschool thing for the long term.

Element 7: Navigate Emotional Challenges

Equip yourself to handle emotions, doubts, and overwhelm in a nurturing way.

When we know how to address the challenges of this homeschool life, like dealing with our big emotions, our kids' big emotions, doubt, overwhelm, and anger, we will feel like we're mothering our kids beautifully.

Element 8: Embrace Imperfection & Confidence

Discover how imperfection can be the key to confident homeschool and life choices. 

When you know that perfection is found in the imperfection, you'd be a whole lot more confident, unafraid at declaring your homeschool (& life) choices.
