Can Your Kid Have a Self-Paced, Happy Education… AND High Academic Standards?

(Secretly) worried your kid can’t have both?

Contradictory fears.

These are some of the most common stresses among new homeschooling parents.

Ironic since most parents take their kids out of traditional school to give them a more positive, less fear-based education. Yet… they may find themselves trading one set of fears for another.

You might feel you desperately want to create a more positive learning environment for your child, where they’ll be seen, heard, loved, and free to enjoy childhood.

You might also have a gnawing worry about the academic side of homeschooling. You might worry about choosing ‘the right’ curriculum and making sure your child doesn’t fall behind, miss out…or… or… not get into college?…or …not know how to ‘do life.’

It can start feeling like your desire to give your kid playtime, freedom, and self-paced learning is competing with maintaining standards and academic achievement.

Is it a competition? Are play and academic success at odds? Can you have it all?

Exhausting.

What do you do?
