S8E166: Am I Doing Enough?

Honey! I'm Homeschooling The Kids

Am I Doing Enough?

This is a question that plagues all homeschoolers from time to time. In this episode, Robyn Robertson of Honey! I’m Homeschooling the Kids and Kelly Edwards of 90-Minute School Day conclude their 4-part “How To Be An Awesome Homeschooler” summer conversation series.

What is ‘enough’? How do we define it? How do we know if we are falling behind? What is ‘behind’?

Listen-in as this topic is broken down into three steps to debunk the fears or to notice an area that needs change. Then we share the 4 ingredients to include in your homeschool to enact that move.

This conversation guides you in shifting from wondering if you’re doing enough to feeling contentment and peace, knowing “I am enough” in my homeschooling.
