Why Does Homeschool Planning Feel Like a Full-Time Job? One of the surprises for many parents when they start planning for homeschool is not the actual teaching of their child.
It is the planning for homeschool that takes a lot of time.
You decide to do homeschool planning because you want an more meaningful education for your child.. Then you find yourself spending a lot of time looking for the right homeschool curriculum organizing homeschool lessons, scheduling homeschool activities tracking the progress of your child and wondering if you are covering everything that your child should learn.
Sometimes it can feel like planning for homeschool has become a job than actually teaching your child.
The reality is that parents who do homeschool planning have to do things at the same time:
* Teacher for your child
* Planner for the homeschool curriculum
* Manager for the homeschool schedule
* Tracker for the progress of your child
* Coach for the learning of your child
That is a lot for one person to handle when they are planning for homeschool.
If you have ever thought to yourself:
"Am I teaching my child enough when I do homeschool planning?"
"What should my child learn next when we do homeschool planning?"
"How do I keep everything organized when I do homeschool planning?"
"Why am I spending much time planning for homeschool?"
You are definitely not the one who thinks this way when they do homeschool planning.
Planning for homeschool should not be about managing a lot of paperwork lesson plans and lists.
Planning for homeschool should be about creating opportunities for your child to learn, explore and grow.
A good plan for homeschool should help your family not make things harder for your family.
