New to the list
[email protected]
Hello: I am a new mmember of the list, and 3 years "new" to teaching
at home. I am in a total state of nerves! My heart tells me what I am
doing is right yet so many people seem to tell me what I am doing
will not work. I have 5 children 8,6,4,2,1. Ever since they were born
I have let my heart lead the way. With breastfeeding, sleeping
raising, everything. I knew our "school" would be like that as well.
I am so glad to have found this place to share ideas and thoughts
with like minded people. I love to watch the freedom of my children
in play, not laboring over their workbooks, yet I feel somehow I am
being negligent as a parent. Thank You for this place and your kind
ears.

If you can change the language and definitions so you're thinking of it as
enabling them to learn at home instead of "teaching" them, that will help a
lot all by itself.
With five kids all small, you have no room in your house for a "school"!
Having a home can be enough.
