I also picked up a few books for executive functioning and a workbook for gifted kiddos. So I purchased us some new meditation cards, My 52 List Project, and 52 List Calm. My son was also starting to show signs of anxiety because we were just not starting our day peacefully but rushing. I personally was suffering from weekly headaches and anxiety. I looked over our curriculum and took the advice of a good friend on Youtube and made four piles:Īfter doing a curriculum check I had to do a mental check, we desperately needed to include mindfulness back into our homeschool day. I needed to start fresh and our current planner for the school year was a constant reminder to me of what I had done to our homeschool. After looking over the planners, I ordered a new planner because I wanted a fresh start. Luckily I kept all of my previous planners and I opened them up and started to examine our previous years. I was shocked at how unhappy he was with our current homeschool situation, I promised him that we would get things back on track.
The first thing I did was sit down with my son and talk with him. What had I done to our homeschool? How could I get things back to our happy place? Then it was the curriculum I had chosen curriculum that wasn’t interesting and just busywork. Unkownglingy after careful observation our homeschool was starting to turn into the one thing I hated and promised myself I wouldn’t do, we were doing “school at home”!!! How did we get here? We weren’t playing games anymore… hands-on learning opportunities were still present but opportunities were few. Seeing my now unhappy 4th grader I started to examine what was going wrong without homeschool. Then in October I started to feel burnt out and observed my son was just not his usual cheerful self and we butting heads a lot when it came to getting lessons completed. I bought the curriculums and wrote out elaborate homeschool lessons. For the last 4 years, we have been eclectic homeschoolers. It’s been a while since I have just written a blog piece that wasn’t a review in a long time, but 2022 means new things for our homeschool journey.
