As parents, we strive to do the best thing for our children. 

We weigh our past experiences and the information at hand, and we use it to try and provide our children with the best possible future. We have been told for generations that the best place for children is in a classroom full of peers. We have been convinced they can learn everything they need to know to be successful in life within the walls of a sanitary, structured classroom full of other children who have exactly as much life experience as they do. We have been taught that children need information broken down and simplified so much that they can’t even figure out how it is relevant for real life.

We’ve been taught wrong. 

Children are fully capable of learning and thriving at home, doing the same things that adults do with guidance. Until about 200 years ago, that’s the only way learning was done- children learned a family trade at home first, and then learned reading, writing, and math if they had extra time. Not all children knew how to read, but most had a marketable trade and basic business sense. They were ready to step into their roles in society as they grew up- it was a natural progression.

As the education system crumbles around us, I believe it’s time to get back to parent-led learning. 

Most children nowadays feel unprepared for what comes after school, because the environment they spent the majority of their time in looks nothing like the world they are supposed to succeed in when their school tenure is over.

It’s time for children to be trained to navigate the real world. It’s time for learning that is more holistic and engaging. It’s time to make homeschooling mainstream again. 

Learning to do something new can be scary. 

When the decisions you make directly impact the lives of someone else, it can be terrifying- especially when it goes against everything you have been taught. That’s why I’m here to help you get started, and I’ll be your cheerleader along the way. You’ve got this.
