Flexibility is 100% the key to staying sane as a home-schooling parent.
Up until this past week, I liked to refer to myself as a recovering home-schooler. I lovedmy children, the way we love anything that stretches and exhausts and betters us, but I had come to accept that it would no longer be part of our journey.
Having taught my four children for three crazy, wonderful, tiring years, I understand the anxiety that accompanies this new normal and the upheaval wrought by a drastic change in circumstances. Instead of a schedule, try to create a gentle, flexible routine. Some school days will start at 8 a.m. and some days will start at 10 ― because you have a meeting or it’s a beautiful morning to play outside or the kids are exhausted. None of that matters.
Pushing through is almost never the answer in home-schooling. If something isn’t working, there is usually a reason and, most of the time, there is a better solution. I have never regretted hitting the reset button by taking a break, ditching the assignment or switching my approach.
