What are you goals? For some families, it&#8217;s to spend time together. For others it&#8217;s to work on certain skills, subjects or interests. Then you can start building from there. Start slowly and figure out what&#8217;s really important to you. For us, we did a lot of reading and focused on Math.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A: What is your top tip for balancing homeschooling with other responsibilities?<\/p>\n<p>C: <em>You need a schedule, even if you&#8217;re not a schedule person. And you need to let a lot of things go. Know you won&#8217;t get it all done and that&#8217;s okay. Some of the most valuable skills we invested in were life skills like cooking and chores which helped with balancing the other work I needed to get done at home. It wasn&#8217;t easy and it&#8217;s certainly not perfect but we are reaping the benefits. Now, Wednesday night is the kids night to cook. They rotate who does it, but not always willingly.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A: Do you teach your kids or do they do it mostly themselves?<\/p>\n<p>C: <em>I think this depends on age and personality. My kids did it themselves, mostly, after I got them set up. We did C: &#8216;morning time&#8217; all together with reading and discussing whatever the day&#8217;s topic was.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A: What are a few things that you did with them?<\/p>\n<p>C: <em>Lots of things. Life skills. We did handwriting. I had them write stories and essays. We listened to audio CD&#8217;s from the Story of the World. I actually loved that. It&#8217;s basically a brief history of everything. We did a lot of reading and some Math.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A: When is your coffee break?<\/p>\n<p>C: <em>Ha! When they have screen time or go to bed!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A: What is the biggest reward of homeschooling?<\/p>\n<p>C: <em>FREEDOM! I loved being in charge of our schedule. We went on a 4-week road trip, saw amazing things, and no one got on my case. We slept in, visited people and did two weeks of study around the Olympics. So much fun.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A: What is the biggest challenge?<\/p>\n<p>C: <em>Time. Deciding what NOT to do. You have to pick and choose. They don&#8217;t learn everything at school, and they won&#8217;t learn everything at home either, so you have to decide what&#8217;s the most important. It&#8217;s can also be tough that the house is never clean or quiet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A: If you could give a newbie one piece of advice, what would it be?<\/p>\n<p>C: <em>Don&#8217;t try to do everything. Remember there is a lot of &#8216;wasted&#8217; time in school too. Learning how to learn and being interested in learning is more important than anything. The rest of your life is affected by your attitude toward learning. Take a holistic approach! Inquiry-based learning was made for homeschoolers. Finding out what questions they have and that interest them, and then discovering the answers.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the upcoming months, Charity will be homeschooling her 3 kids at home alongside the rest of Canadians. When asked if she will continue after school&#8217;s back on, she simply says, &#8220;Who knows?&#8221; A far-reaching sentiment in so many ways right now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charity is a Calgary mom who homeschooled her children for 2017 -2018 year. &#8220;It was a family decision,&#8221;
