The simple solution to homeschooling gifted and intense kids

Mamas, I’m on vacation with my family in the desert and grabbing a quick coffee by myself while everyone is still asleep.

In the quietness of this new day I’ve been thinking about how fleeting this time is. We used to come here when my girls were babies and now they are growing up my oldest already 19 years old. I’m so filled with gratitude that she’s here with us. That she still chooses to be here with us. 🦋

Oh mamas, cherish this time. Soon your emotionally intense and gifted kids will be older and have lives of their own. They may not always be able to join you on your adventures as work and college become new priorities. This is my life - I’m adjusting and growing and learning. It’s getting easier but oh mamas it will come ❤️

Mamas, cherish these precious moments . Release the worry and the stress and choose to focus on what you most dream of creating in your homeschool and daily life. Know that it is possible and you are free.

Make memories to last a lifetime. Let go of what isn’t working and make it your number one goal to find what does 🙏💕

Do not allow yourself to give in to thoughts of “this is just how it is” - for what we focus on expands. Overwhelm and frustration are only messages from the universe crying out for you to “wake up”!

Life is meant to be lived full out not merely survived. 🎉

Oh mamas, I started out homeschooling in desperation - it was a last resort for a child who was slowly losing herself in school. Our family was in total chaos. We felt completely isolated and alone. All of the expert advice just felt so “wrong”.

Thank goodness I didn’t listen. 👊🏻💪🏻

My dear homeschool sisters I’ve walked the path ahead of you to share my story of hope. As I leaped from the mainstream into the unchartered territory of self directed education what I found was peace and flow. As I began to question everything I’d ever learned about parenting and learning -

I found a magical childhood 🦋🦋

Mamas, I desperately want that same thing for you and won’t stop writing until I reach as many of you as I can.

Today, imagine your most perfect homeschool day. You know that sweet spot where everything flows. Imagine what you would be doing differently if you felt confident and empowered to do this homeschooling thing your way in a way that honored your needs and those of your children.

Now mamas go do more of that.
