5 BIGGEST MISTAKES New Homeschoolers Make

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Can you relate to any of these mistakes? I know I've made them all and still struggle with comparison sometimes too... 😅

[@Blessedgal_3897]

Yes, probably all of them. LOL 😂😂😂 But the main one is the comparison. One mom I watched I had to stop I literally was beating myself up, but then watched one of your vlogs and felt much better. 💖💖💖💖

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

@@Blessedgal_3897 So great that you recognized that the comparison was harmful and you stopped filling yourself with that terrible feeling! Glad you’re finding encouragement here! ❤️

[@Renewed85]

What a great comment!

[@e.a.c.2175]

As a former HS English teacher, I find it's taken me at least 4 years to undo the "subliminal messaging" in my mind about what school has to look like or not look like. It's a double edge sword having such a background...and your channel helps me a lot when it comes to the feelings of guilt and condemnation that has haunted me throughout my homeschooling journey...I think because I was so overworked and stressed out as a full time English teacher, I sometimes was worried when the kids and I had down time or spent "too much time" on one subject...but now I'm realizing that my kids thrive under an environment rich in encouragement, forgiveness, and simplicity.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

I have heard that from many other former teachers! How great that you have found your way to a richer, more peaceful atmosphere for your family!

[@leslieirizarry444]

I wish I had seen this video in August! "push a child to tears for the sake of marking off a box" YIKES. I'm so glad I can continue learning from people like you. I'm even learning from some of the comments

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

I’m still learning too! We’re in this together! ❤️

[@shandrearodriguez9035]

I am just starting out homeschooling for my youngest son who is an eighth grade. This was very helpful thank you

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Glad it was helpful! ❤️ Best wishes!

[@candicerugenstein]

Another helpful video, thank you. We've been thinking of homeschooling and what we thought would work best wasn't like the classroom so we thought we were wrong but you spoke to my heart and we're excited to move forward.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

So glad it was helpful! I’m excited for you! ❤️

[@InvitationtoAmy]

I’m struggling with teaching my kids at all. I have trouble with routine myself and I’m jumping around a lot in my teaching, this makes me feel uncertain that my kids are properly learning let alone mastering anything at all. The guilt and worry is a lot but also worry from my husband who understandably has his concerns about my choice and my confidence is quite low I feel I am faking it in hopes to make it. This video was helpful however and I hope I’m on the right track.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Totally get that, mama! It's definitely very helpful to have a good routine in place, just not a strict schedule, you'll have to keep experimenting until you find what will work for your family. I've learned for me (as I also struggle with consistency) that I have to put in more of an effort to grow in the virtue of diligence in this area. If you want an idea of a daily routine to try, check out my video about how we time block our homeschool and see if maybe there's something in there that will help! ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Kyoquee9p4ZsU Also, I encourage you to check out the book, Homeschool Bravely: How to Squash Doubt, Trust God, and Teach Your Child with Confidence by Jamie Erickson amzn.to/3BdsQma. It's a great read that might help boost your confidence in your decision to homeschool! Blessings!

[@InvitationtoAmy]

@@TheEclecticHomeschooler thank you for your kind words! I will watch the video and be sure to check out the book.

This was such a beauty video. As a new homeschooling mom I needed to hear everything today. I know I made all of these mistakes last year in my first year of homeschooling 🙈. Now I am finally starting to feel a little more confident in myself and our families homeschooling journey.😍I hope this video finds its way to the hearts of many new homeschooling families.

I am a first year home school mom and WOW! I'm so thankful I found your vlog. I have been pulling my hair out trying to make it all work and it's impossible. My kiddos are 8 and 12 and the school system failed them. I'm trying to fill in the gaps while trying to keep them on "on target". It isn't working for us. Your home school knowledge has been a God send. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas.

[@JYYB]

This is our 2nd year doing homeschool and I am glad one day during the summer I happened upon your video and I watched most of them. Last year was just doing workbook but this year we switched it up, Monday, Wednesday and Friday we do in the book home work and Tuesday and Thursday we do STEM and hands on fun learning for both my 6 and 8 year old and vise versa. Some days we we aren’t feeling it and not do any homework but have fun as kids and learn house chores and play outside just have us time. So a big thank you for your channel! 🙏🏼

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

LOVE that!! Sounds like a wonderful routine for your family. Happy that my channel has been an encouragement! Blessings, mama!

[@perryh.5306]

Moms making mistakes is great! I would never call my mom out on a mistake she made...(or continues to make) instead, I would tell her what a great job she is doing and to keep it up!

I just have to say thank you!, it's been twice now I've felt discouraged about homeschool feeling uncertain if I am doing enough ,and both times I opened up you tube and your video was right there for me to watch and completely lifted my spirits and calmed my anxiety. God is using you my friend🥰

[@handsfullofgoodthings]

Thank you so much. I'm researching homeschool and decided to put aside any and all pre-conceived notions in favor of spending a few months interviewing families around us that are already homeschooling, and listening to as many experienced KZbinrs as I can. I've been so blessed and educated by all I've heard so far, and I especially enjoy your calm, cheerful and encouraging videos. I have a solid list of ideas, do's, don'ts, and resources to get me started as soon as the time comes. I'm super excited for the journey.

[@girl4granted]

It is our 3rd year and I still struggle with comparison and fear of using the "wrong " curriculum.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

It’s a challenge for sure! The longer you do this, the more confident in your own decisions you’ll become! ❤️

[@OurHOMEschoolPlan]

This was really well done and yes…..I think I made every one of these mistakes and so many more!!! The scenery behind you was beautiful!!!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Thanks! I’ve made many more mistakes too! 🥴😂

[@a.violet5905]

I have done all of these things. Especially comparing our homeschool and children to others as well as trying to recreate the public school at home which I did in the beginning. That was disastrous. Another mistake I made was panic curriculum switching. I had a math curriculum that was working well for my kids, but at the time didn't have the confidence to just keep using that so I switched it. That put us on a path to learning gaps and stagnation in math because we had to pretty much start over every time we switched. So now we use Teaching Textbooks and I'm not switching again. The boys will take it all the way through pre-calculus if they make it that far.

[@emmahammond741]

We actually thrive best in a more school at home approach. It just works for us!

[@mmhh1231]

I love your videos as a mom of five seriously exploring the homeschooling option. You’re giving me hope. One thing I haven’t figured out.. how do you present the idea of home schooling to children who have already been in the school system? My oldest is going into 4th grade, I have a 3rd, 2nd and kindergartner… how do I get them excited about doing this? I fear they are all (or most) going to hate the idea of not going to school with their friends.

[@SJD36]

I love how you talked on how kids learn being important in deciding how the school day might look. My youngest has high energy and has a very difficult time sitting for long periods of time. Super important to get many breaks in for her. I may need to give oral quizzes to my son so I can better explain what the questions are asking. He feels they are making it too complicated in some subjects. I do agree! Maybe I can break it down a bit for him. Also he may do better listening to the reading material over reading it within himself. He could either read it out loud or listen to me read it at times to see if it helps him understand better and hopefully he can better answer the questions. We will just have to see what works best for him.

[@GIGILSTEMActivitiesforKids]

Kids learn so much better at their pace!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

YES!! You are on the right track, mama! 👏🏼 Definitely embrace that freedom that homeschooling allows to work with your child in the way that is best for them. I have to do similar things with my dyslexic/dysgraphia kiddo. He does much better hearing the content than reading it to himself and doing active hands on activities really help too.

[@alliehumphreythreepines]

I am so glad I found your page. It has made me feel so much better about starting our homeschool journey. I almost feel a weight lifted from my shoulders after every video I watch of yours. I have been stressing so much about my decision to not send my kids to public school when they came of age and I have not been met with support. Your videos truly are helping me. Thank you!! ❤

Aww, I’m so blessed to hear that!! So very glad that you’ve been encouraged here! ❤️

[@sarahsearle1142]

Our 6 year old daughter started year 1 today ❤️ She's taken to homeschooling like a duck to water. My husband & I are enjoying this journey so far. I found your video helpful & it takes alot of pressure off of us as parents to think we have to do things a certain way because others do it or we feel like our daughter needs to be at the same level as children her age. Every child is different & they all learn at different paces. I felt myself relax & take slower breaths whilst watching this video. It's a joyful journey to be enjoyed. Not something to stress over.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Love that so much! You are so correct, we are meant to enjoy this journey together! Blessings to you as your embark on yours!

OMG!!! i Just had that kind of day...all of the things you mentioned happened today and now i'm second guessing even homeschooling my children, do i have the ability, do i have the patience, will they succeed, will i ruin the one thing i want for them is to really enjoy learning! thank you for your channel never seen you before and God put you right before me to learn something new!

[@GIGILSTEMActivitiesforKids]

Simplicity and flexibility - yes!!

[@amber689]

This is sooo encouraging. I’m leaving a teaching position, at a high school, to homeschool my 6th grade son. My 4th grade daughter is staying in public school. I am hardwired for checking all the boxes. This will be an interesting year. But we are taking it one year at a time.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

So glad it was encouraging! That box checking can be a challenge! Just make sure you give yourself grace if you don’t get to it all every day. Especially as you find your groove. Focusing on what was accomplished rather than what wasn’t can be a big help! Blessings to you in your first year!

[@Allellen]

Very encouraging… I’m definitely guilty of these things. I fear one day i will look back and realize my child would have been better off in regular school.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

I'm definitely guilty of them as well at times! I head a great thought the other day about fear as an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real. There are so many tremendous benefits of homeschooling! I encourage you to look into statistics about homeschooling to help reassure you that you're doing the right thing! :) www.nheri.org/ is a great resource! Blessings!

[@LittlebyLittleHomeschool]

I completely agree and know that I made every single one of those mistakes. But, like you said, we learn from them and grow into the homeschool that fits perfectly for our own family.

[@aleciahenderson5450]

This was so good to hear this morning as I begin our week. This is our second year of homeschooling, and I have seen the benefits to being more flexible. If we don’t finish something, we roll it over to the next day! So freeing! Thank you for your realistic approach! I leave so encouraged!

So glad to hear that you are finding more peace this year! Blessings, mama!

[@GIGILSTEMActivitiesforKids]

That's the beauty of homeschooling!

[@jenniferturner9012]

In my state, they don't accept anything less than state standards for each grade level, for all students, public, private, and at home.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Actually, unschooling is legal in all 50 states, which would not necessarily be the same as “state standards” for public school. Some states have more regulations than others as far as what has to be submitted, etc. but there are many ways to be able to make your homeschool the way you want it to be. One option would be enrolling under an umbrella school that allows you the freedom to homeschool (or even unschool) the way you feel best. Bridge Academy is one such option. I always encourage people to make sure they comply with state laws, but often times we don’t realize how flexible they can be. HSLDA is a great resource as well.

[@gret1234]

[@xlovelydearx]

I’ve made all of them! I wanted to add that even when you homeschool multiple children, they might not all do well with the same type of program or format. My 9y old has been so upset about school for years and we FINALLY found different curriculums that help him like it more and play on his learning strengths (I.e. he likes math u see better that the textbooks we had been using or the non textbook things we tried). My 6y old loves math but doesn’t like math u see. She feels it’s distracting and she rather do worksheets and textbook stuff (I have read and heard so many times to ditch worksheets and I felt I needed to). Homeschool is best done when you and your child are happy learning. I learned after so long to talk to them and ask them if they like how we’re doing things. I even ask a few weeks or a month or two into the curriculum if they still like it. We make it work for us which is what homeschooling is meant to be. ❤️❤️❤️

This was extremely helpful. Thank you Erin. We're in our first 'official' year of homeschooling.

Thank you for this!! And if you don't mind, I have a video request.... I don't know if this is something you've dealt with, but how do you deal with doubt from others ? I am a 2nd year homeschooling mom of 5... ages 7, 5, 4, 1, and 2 months... I get from the speech therapist and the pediatrician stuff like "but how are you going to do this with 5 kids?" and "but what if public school is what's best for them?" .... stuff like this that just makes me feel like total crap about what I'm trying to do here. I hate sitting there and feeling judged for something that they don't understand.. I feel like people think if you're not super college educated with a teaching degree or something, that you just can't do it... Sorry, this was a bit of a rant 🙃

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Hi Samantha! I do have this topic on my content list but it probably won’t be out for a little while. You definitely have to develop a thick skin yourself to not take to heart what naysayers tell you. One way to do that is to really be set in your mind and heart about your why for homeschooling. If you are confident in your decision to do it, then it really doesn’t matter what others think. In reality, you don’t owe anyone an explanation. You can just say, “Thanks for your concern.” And leave it at that, or add, “This is our family and we are doing what we believe is best for our kids.” People are often abrasive towards things they are uneducated about and don’t understand. If you can research things like statistics about how well homeschooled kids do in college and life compared to public schooled kids, (hint, they do better) your confidence will increase regardless of what others say. Here’s a great article to help you start your research. www.nheri.org/research-facts-on-homeschooling/

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Definitely check with your state laws to see what you are required to do. hslda.org is a great place to find that info. Most states do not require you to submit a schedule or have anyone checking to see what you are doing, and you have the freedom as the homeschool parent to decide how you want to structure your homeschool. I have a whole playlist of videos that talk about how we have structured our homeschool week to fit everything in if you want some ideas! 😁 Homeschool Planning kzbin.info/aero/PLIJu0FDTIbQnRQCqGLjfYhZth-YnDOthB

Thank you for this. I'm starting out this year and I'm so stressed. My son fell behind in public school they didn't teach him much. He didn't retain anything. He is supposed to be starting 1st grade but im learning he needs some preschool level things because it's like he doesn't retain things I thought he did till I was working with him.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Don't put to much pressure on yourself! He's not behind! If he hasn't retained it, that just means he probably wasn't ready for it yet. All kids develop on different timelines and the traditional school model fails those kids who are on a different schedule than the herd. Rest assured that he will learn all that he needs to know when he's developmentally ready for it! And when he is ready, it'll all fall into place! You've got this, mama!

[@Cecesimsworld7200]

I struggle with my youngest. She struggle with free writing and sounds. I have to start all over with her. She was in nursery school for awhile then pre-k for a year. I lose my patience with her alot

[@thehudsonshub]

Maybe just give her more time. No rush.😊 you are doing good

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

If she’s just in Kindergarten, it sounds like maybe she’s just not ready yet. Try not to push too much before she’s ready. If you are both getting frustrated or upset, the best thing to do is step back and pause for a while. Try again when she’s ready. In the mean time, read books together, find fun ways to learn about the letters/sounds (go on a sound hunt, play alphabet games, search for letters in books, make letter crafts, etc) Enjoy your time together!

[@marie-louiseweerheim4224]

Just so you know: in a lot of countries children learn to read and write from 6 years old on. So please don't push her. Read books together/let her play. Maybe look into some fine motor skill activities that can prepare her for writing such as Clay, beats, sand, pompons.

[@Cecesimsworld7200]

Thanks ladies I'm going to go back to the pre k level and activities. It is hard to remember all kids learn different and some aren't ready while some are. I just don't want her to struggle like I did in school.

[@yoyob.8915]

But, if you don’t finish the entire math or reading books how does your child go on to the next grade?

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Even in the school system, they never get through the whole curriculum. It’s generally considered that you need to get through at least 80-85% of a curriculum. And then the first 2-3 weeks or more of the next year is generally review from the previous year as well, so you will be reviewing concepts and have time to address if there was a skill that was missed previously.

[@Starsofneon]

Comparison... Well that is probably a large percent of why alot of Homeschoolers clicked on this video hindsight. Definitly for me anyway haha :)

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

True! It’s a challenge!

[@Crochetedpossum]

So not sure what to have my child do every day! Have been trying lots of things and have not clicked with anything yet…

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

A good rule of thumb is to focus on the old adage of the 3 "R's" (reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic) every day and then rotate through other subjects in some kind of loop schedule. Or maybe look into a unit study approach and see if that would be a good fit... Gather Round has some great options!
