Episode 10: Building Confidence as a Homeschool Mom
Do you struggle with confidence as a homeschool mom? In this episode of The Relatable Homeschoolers, we’re talking about building confidence as a homeschool mom. As seasoned homeschoolers, we have all struggled with fear and worry at some point in our homeschool journeys.
Whether it was in our early days of homeschooling or years later, as we began a new season (read: high school), we have all encountered the fear of wondering if we are doing the best thing for our children. If you are dealing with fear or worry, this episode is for you! Even if you feel confident in your current season, this episode will give you tools for those times when you don’t.
Harmony, Heather, Annie, and Lindsay share what they do (and what they don’t do) when they are not feeling confident or are having a bad day or even a bad week of homeschooling.
Take heart, homeschool mom! You are the mom for the job, and you are more than capable of homeschooling your children. Listen in as we talk about building confidence!
