Homeschool Book…
My little guy sometimes has a hard time understanding why he’s being homeschooled. He has a desire, like many little kids, to be like everyone else.
I explain the benefits, and he doesn’t exactly want to go to school, but he still doesn’t want to be different.
Tonight I found and ordered a book about homeschooling called “I am Learning All the Time.” I haven’t seen it yet, and won’t for at least a month, but I’m hoping that it will at least give my son a sense that there are more than just him and his handful of homeschooled friends who are ‘different’.
If your young child is feeling the same way as mine, this might be a good pick for you too.

We are homeschooling/unschooling four kids (14, 12, 9 & 6) and sometimes they get the “I wannas” about going to the local schools with the other kids in the neighborhood. It’s not always easy to stand one’s ground on the decision, but so far so good! They do learn all the time, and it is great to be able to follow their interest in a topic instead of a lesson plan. Our biggest hurdle was math - until we got them into the kitchen and involved with grocery shopping. Now they do fractions and more with ease, and when we say they’re doing math they say “No, this is just cooking!” Good luck to you!!
