If you are new to homeschooling or have been doing it for years, this could be your year of learning the joys of freedom in your teaching methods. We all need to shift gears once in a while. Is this your year? Is this your month? I suggest starting with one subject. Is there a subject that simply is not working day in and day out? Is it stressing you out? Your kids? Do you find yourself skipping it altogether? Maybe you tell your kids they can skip it one day. Then two. Then a week. Then a month. The semester or year goes by and, ooops. Well, before it gets to that point, consider switching it up. Trying something new. Forget about the textbook approach (remember, we are talking about ONE subject only for now), and try a unit study, a video-based program, or a Pinterest-based project. If you need help with this approach to education, try out FreedomHomeschooling.com. It's 100% free so the only risk would be your time. If you have been slacking on that subject then you really have nothing to loose, only something to gain. Give it a try today!
