We're getting closer to the end, and most of us are feeling pressure to double down on finishing curriculum and worksheets...checking all the boxes that tell the world (and sometimes our husbands or nosey do-gooders) that we're doing a good job teaching our kids.
But we're here to remind you that you’re already doing enough.
Even if you've skipped days or haven't finished that math book (who has?! No one in school does!), or you "FEEL" like your kid is behind...you're doing a good job.
Your child is right where they are meant to be.
Homeschooling is a long game and they HAVE learned a lot already.
So instead of filling your bucket stressing over the final things that need to be finished this year...we want to encourage you to let go and give one of these activities a try instead.
We're willing to bet what you really want is to end the year with good memories.
These are our 5 best totally low-energy ideas for making memories without overwhelming you at the end of the year.
- Poetry Tea (02:45)
- Afternoon Movie (05:55)
- Kid Taught Lessons (08:05)
- Popsicles & Audiobooks (11:15)
- The Park, Friends, & A Picnic (15:05)
Before you go, leave us a review and subscribe! We promise to keep working incredibly hard to bring you podcasts that make you feel seen, heard, and encouraged if you do.
And hey, send this to a fellow homeschool mom and plan one of these totally low-key memory-making ideas together
And sweet momma, never forget…
YOU are doing beautiful work!
