I chat with Mickey Richards, a homeschool coach & my coach! We talk about what we can do when we are feeling overwhelmed and burned out as homeschool moms. We discuss ways we can experience stress differently when we face resistance from our kiddos or are just plain overstimulated ourselves! We talk about grounding exercises and thought patterns and how we can work with our bodies and change our thinking to help us when our bodies go into that fight/flight/freeze mode (or as Mickey says when our thoughts are saying “let’s get the heck out!). We talk about how life is our curriculum and how we can view what our children need as our curriculum and that be more than okay! Some children need a lot of sensory input, others need less. Either way, we can meet our children’s needs and prioritize them over the “books” and be confident in this. If we can’t even sit at the table together without big feelings etc., we have to work on this first! Mickey talks about how we can hold boundaries and still be gentle/respectful parents and encourages new and veteran homeschool families alike that homeschooling can be taken one step at a time, with lots of experiments, and no one right way of doing things! We can trust the process!
