though you accomplish solittle.
Don’t let the apparent success of others dictate the feelingthat you have for yourself. Homeschooling methods are as variedas those who teach. You will find yours. And while you’re takingtime to make the homeschool adjustment, don’t worry about whatothers think you should do. Appreciate what you haveaccomplished. Remember as you work to refine your homeschooling schedule,every item on your ‘to do’ list can’t be a #1 priority. Everytask can’t be marked as ‘High Priority’. If you do this, you will always feel overwhelmed. Sure, tasksshould be prioritized and that’s fine. But don’t get caught upin everything is a show stopper. It’s not. If you have fivethings to do and they all have a priority of 1, then take thetime to sort them as 1a, 1b…. and so on. You are not super parent and you probably don’t have a cape. Inever did. But keep faith in yourself, know what you are doingis what you are suppose to be doing and all will work out.
