Feeling Freaked Out or Anxious

Feeling Freaked Out or Anxious About the Coming Year? 

The hardest part about homeschooling is when you are faced with something new.  The first time you had to teach a child to write in cursive, or mulitply, for example, it was pretty intimidating. If you are feeling stressed about the coming year, chances are you are faced with something new.  These are my “OH MY GOODNESS I’M PANICKING!” articles that I hope will talk you down from the ledges!

Stay CalmMy goal is to convince you that you will WIN this battle over fear and become a confident parent of your homeschooled teen!  Please remember to relax and have fun, too!  Don’t work yourself and your students to the point of frustration.  Regular breaks may help you to get more done in the long run – AND preserve your sanity.

    Lee,
    I’ve read this article in the past but I am grateful for the reminders! As it happens. we are enjoying a quick “last” vacation at the coast for a few days together before our eldest starts university this fall. (He was publically achooled except one year). Next week I start high school studies with our youngest. So happy I can rely on you, if I encounter any doubts 🙂 Confident we will do this together – well. Sincerely, Kate
