My wife and I just finalising a plan to take on full responsibility for home schooling our kids
Having tried a number of other options. Family daycare. Nanny’s. We’ve realised that they actually create more problems than they solve
We will outsource other areas that consume time eg cleaning, washing clothes, doing the lawn, cooking.
Giving us more time to focus and be present
Engaging a language teacher for the family or grouping nearby homeschooling children works really well
I like th idea of grouping as well
Will look into that once got things going satisfactorily with just ourselves
I salute you.
Having a mother for your children who agrees with you on this is a blessing.... which I sorely lack 🥲
Keep teaching her 🙏🏻
It will come
Don’t give up cooking! Great way to school your children on health, economy, self reliance, creativity not to mention error correction.🧑🍳🥘🍪🍔🧇🥩🥦
Don’t get me wrong, we love cooking. All we eat each week is organic, whole foods, home cooked. We will certainly do one big cook together per week, eg choose a recipe, get fresh ingredients, combine together and cook etc. But what we’ve found very valuable is someone helping to do the groceries and prep meals, ie take the heavy lifting out, for 80-% of the meals. Really helps lower stress levels and improve regular access to the best food
