If you think that you may be too structured in your homeschool, if you are worn out and your kids hate homeschool, if you’re tempted to put your kids on the big yellow school bus, you may need to relax your homeschooling approach.
I use relaxed homeschooling. I have found that it works so much better for me. It is sustainable and enjoyable. I don’t fight the kids to do their work every day. I don’t use artificial means to try to get them to learn skills that they will need in the future.
We take advantage of teachable moments. We learn from real life situations that come up. We learn because of needs that we have. We learn what we really want to know about.
Watch these 2 videos about how you can tell if they’re really learning when you use a relaxed homeschooling approach.

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller







I like hearing from you and your son about homeschooling. I find it very inspiring and anointed! Thank you for taking the time to share.
Thank you, Amy!
