Wrestling with concerns about homeschooling and your child's writing skills? Believe me, you're not alone. Join me as we venture into this intimidating arena, armed with my personal homeschooling stories and powerful tools designed to nurture your young writer's talent. Discover the inner peace that comes from knowing it's okay to take a breather and de-school, and that, despite your doubts, you're doing a phenomenal job. Together, we'll unravel the Charlotte Mason method of teaching writing, a tried-and-true approach that harnesses the power of copywork, narration, and dictation. We will focus on the art of inspiring a love for writing and grammar in children. Hear heartwarming anecdotes from my personal journey with my own children and learn the benefits of offering them the gift of freedom and flexibility in learning. We'll also discuss the utility of grammar books and the need to revisit writing basics periodically. Finally, I'll introduce you to the enchanting world of poetry tea time, a practice that has brought joy and creativity into my family's homeschooling routine.
