3 Easy Mistakes to Avoid When Creating Your Homeschool Routine

Creating a homeschool routine and a homeschool schedule can feel like an overwhelming task.
As a homeschooling mom of over 16 years, I’ve made the classic homeschool mistake of trying to overschedule and do too much.
At the beginning, I made the newbie mistake of trying to make my homeschool look like a public school.
And multiple times, I’ve made the understandable mistake of wanting to make sure I covered “everything.”
At times my homeschool expectations have been totally unrealistic and we’ve been on the brink of failure. But I’ve taken the time to figure out what successful homeschool routines look like.
And what I’ve discovered is that a homeschool schedule is built to serve a successful homeschool routine.
And a successful homeschool routine takes into account 3 simple principles:
1. Planning the “right” amount to do
2. Embracing the mess
3. Allowing things to change
In this video I also share one of the best ways to set up your homeschool so you can be confident and successful. Check out my Confident Homeschool Foundations Program.

I've been bummed at times, thinking we aren't doing enough, and there are certainly times when I know we could do more, but when I step back and look at our journey as a whole, we've accomplished so much.

I made the “perfect” schedule once. Took all summer to make it. Color coded and laminated even. We could never stick to it because there was no room for “LIFE” events that pop up. We went back to sticking with a rhythm that’s always been what we default to, but I used to believe the lie that it “wasn’t enough.” The truth is, a daily rhythm is enough and it’s very life-giving! ❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

This was really good for me to read thanksss

[@homeschooltohomeschool]

I've been there .... sooooo many colored schedules in the recycling bin!

"Less is more." I definitely struggle with this but I am trying not to feel like I have to schedule so much into our homeschool day. I worry that my kids will fall behind should our circumstances ever change and end up in public school.

[@hetalparikh]

Thankfully “Less Is More” is always how I roll and I homeschool specifically tuning into my child’s strengths.
Learnt through experience to have a schedule but be very flexible and easy going. Shift with what works. Sucha life saver ! I flow well 😅

[@laurissasteadman9392]

Your videos are balm to my soul!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, positivity and inspiration. You are an inspiration to me! When will your courses that say “coming soon”- specifically the motivation course- be available?

[@ourfamilyvideos7283]

Thank you! Child has 9 subjects(3 are Lang.arts) currently and we’ve decided math is everyday but others...we don’t have to do and not finishing the book will be ok. You give really great advice and we love your perkiness

[@yenneyarevalo6667]

Needed to hear this: there are no perfect homeschool days; you can not stick to routines that work forever 'cause they change. Thank you so much for the info shared on each one of your videos.

[@keeperofmyhome]

Great advice!

[@beze7598]

Thank you again for your wisdom! I love the minds of people who homeschool with structure but also let things be natural because again we are the mothers/fathers teaching and growing and learning with our children every day there’s so much beauty to it!

[@cempaaxochitl]

Thank you!! 🙏🏾

[@tiffanythomas8233]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@homeschooltohomeschool]

Glad it was helpful!

I think my problem is I’m with a public virtual homeschool it’s overwhelming me they have math language science social studies education technology everyday then there is a short quiz after every lesson..... I try to make things as fun as possible but I’m overwhelmed most of the homeschool moms I follow are doing private homeschooling.... maybe I need to switch

[@sabrinaburnham4395]

I agree that’s why I am switching from virtual to private homeschool.

[@myguyjuju4800]

You are so amazing

[@moonhunter9993]

[@zubeidafester1173]

Guilty as charged...hahah
