The #1 Thing to Remember as a Homeschool Parent

The #1 Thing to Remember as a Homeschool Parent

August 11, 20251 min read

There’s something I wish every homeschool parent could grasp right from the start.

It’s not a fancy planning method or the “perfect” curriculum.

It’s this:

You are the teacher.

That means you decide what counts, what doesn’t, and how learning happens in your home.

Just because a curriculum lays things out in a certain way doesn’t mean you have to follow it to the letter. In fact, sometimes I skip assignments, projects, or workbook pages—simply because I know they’re not essential for my child’s learning.

And here’s the best part… I don’t feel guilty about it.

Why?

Because as the teacher, I get to decide what’s busywork and what’s valuable. That decision is yours, too.

This one mindset shift can relieve so much unnecessary pressure—on you and your kids. And when you own your role, homeschooling becomes less about checking boxes and more about real learning.

In my Homeschool Crash Course, I walk you through exactly how to make these calls with confidence—plus how to decide what gets graded, what’s worth recording, and what you can let go of entirely.

You’ll also learn:

  • How to adapt curriculum to your child’s learning style

  • How to set up a schedule that works for your family

  • How to track grades and attendance without stress or overwhelm

What you say goes. And I’m here to help you walk in that role with confidence from day one.

 

Equipping you for excellence in home education,
