It is incredible and such a great help. We are facing some of these same issues too and came to realize that if we are all stressed out we aren't learning anything. So there is no point in stressing everyone out with expectations and my tendancy to over plan (too! lol). Let us know how it goes!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-68376267281795087782011-09-21T04:20:50.775+10:002011-09-21T04:20:50.775+10:00Oh I pray more mothers read your words and underst...Oh I pray more mothers read your words and understand to just let go of our 'very high' expectations, and allow our children to learn at their own pace.<br /><br />This is one of the many reasons I school them at home! :)<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing Gae. By the way, I borrowed your picture, it is just perfect! ;D<br /><br />m.b.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865763819603324836.post-77723894851970005442011-09-21T04:20:07.348+10:002011-09-21T04:20:07.348+10:00This is such a beautiful post Gae ! I was just med...This is such a beautiful post Gae ! I was just meditating on the uniqueness of each child last night as I'm missing our ds23 so very much .Now it is I struggling with homeschooling . I just don't want to do it right now . Yet do our 2 remaining at home need it ? <br />Our ds15 Indigo is a non reader . It baffles me at times yet this is the child I really had to do the letting go with all the boys have not had a huge love of reading but the older 2 at least would read 2-3 novels per yr. however Indigo nope . he did not even truly read til age 11yrs . and now that he can read he does have a great reading comprehension but he solely chooses to read non fiction factual works and that is it be it a mushroom guide or a book on blacksmithing . I have to admit at times the fear comes into me what will become of this child ? will he succeed ? will he be the societal failure ? then I realize our children like us are common folk . no great university bound individuals , creative & unique individuals but common none the less. and thats it , in the world of common folk this child like his siblings before him will and can achieve as he already has been proving through his sports and working this summer etc. <br /> Your post today really hit home with me Gae Thanks so much <br />Love RoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
