The School Year Is Starting Without Us—Why Does It Feel So Weird? | 224
About this episode
The school year is starting, but your child isn’t going back. Even when homeschooling is the right decision, back-to-school season can stir up doubt, mixed feelings, and the urge to suddenly make a bigger plan.
In this episode, we talk about why August can feel so strange when your family steps outside the school calendar, why your child may miss parts of school without wanting to return, and how old school expectations can creep into your thinking before you realize it.
If you’re new to homeschooling or unschooling and wondering why this transition feels harder than expected, this episode will help you recognize what’s really happening—and why you don’t need to rush to recreate school at home.
