Frustration Remedy 08/30/2010
One week into homeschooling my youngest and I'm already getting frustrated! I know frustration is part of the deal when homeschooling, but I can't imagine someone brand new to this lifestyle, trying to figure it out, having a hard time and bumping heads with their kid and wanting to continue to homeschool! So how do I deal with it and what can I say to those that are new to homeschooling? BREATHE!!! Take a deep breath, go outside, look at the clouds and relax! Clearing your head, even if it is just for a few minutes, can help change your whole perspective and calm everything down. Try it. I did this morning and it really does work.

Oh my gosh what have I done! is what is screaming at me right now. Our first day and I have just spent 3 hours "teaching" my 4th and 2nd grade daughters. I feel hopelessly lost and came here for some comfort while my darling daughters tell me they loved it and are now playing happily on the floor together. Overwhelmed - definitely lol.

Congratulations at choosing to teach your children that they can be the best at whatever they want to be! Please keep in mind that homeschool is a lifestyle, it takes time for YOU, not just your children to make it through this transition period. Keep breathing, go to park days, and visit here frequently to read the "Encouragement" section. If I can do it, so can you! TM : ) MM 08/30/2010 1:10pm
I've heard it said that the first year of homeschooling is the hardest for some, simply because you have to find and hone your (and your kids') style and approach. That takes time. I'd say that was true for us! Now, it's going pretty well. AskTracy 08/31/2010 6:32pm
