As a homeschooling mom with older children, let me offer encouragement; independence and self responsibility will happen.<br />Meredith, it sounds like you guys have such a fun time learning!

I am hoping that as they become more and more independent, the burden/responsibility will shift in part to them and in part to just finding ways for them to fulfill their needs, as opposed to being totally my burden (figuring out what they really need to know and then teaching them in a way they will be engaged!). There are just some basics we have to get through first. =)momgineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644033291852662859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531331777484097920.post-90174760548549397932014-08-31T12:28:47.427-04:002014-08-31T12:28:47.427-04:00Thank you for this!

For all the reasons you said.<br />And my doubts are tied up in not being academic enough. But like you, they are getting a lot out of life and academics are there, little by little.Amateur Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858022070892929225noreply@blogger.com
