Great article! Thanks for reinforcing the decisions we’ve already made for this year! Last year, we had WAY too much running around and it really took a toll on our schooling. I really think we will have a more productive HOMEschool year.

Thank you for this post. I am just starting out with a 9th grader. Even thought she is older , I realize the time we spend AT HOME is so important. Thank you for the reminder.

This feels so RIGHT on target to me. I’m a new homeschooling mom and as I’ve prayed about what to get involved in as we begin our year, I’ve chosen to listen to the whisper that says, “Be home.” With only one child, the call may be even greater to get out there, find activities, socialize, socialize, socialize. But I hear God asking me to trust that He will provide what we need. Thanks for a great post.

This was just what I needed to hear to put some balance in my thinking. I’ve also been feeling like I need to jump on the bandwagon of constant go, go, go since I see my sister so involved constantly going to something with her 4 kids, and a friend of mine as well, with each of her kids, 6 altogether, constantly involved with one sport or the other.

She said it is a priority, and that they make the time and a way for it to happen, no matter what, even though her kids are gone all day already at public school. That comment kind of stuck in the side of me leaving me wandering around with my wound wide open and everytime I thought about it, the sting of pain came back. It was almost a slap in the face actually…. at least it felt that way.

I’ve begun to feel inadequate in that area of getting my own children involved with things, but, this article really set me at ease. The pressure is off! Thanks Heather!

Great article and very timely! Our uninterrupted days at home are our best days too. The whispers can get pretty loud though.

Amen. Fortunately, (although I didn’t think so at the time) we never had the extra money to participate in alot of outside activities. As a result, my four children and I reaped the benefit of unhurried, quality learning time homeschooling at “home.”
