If a homeschooled child spends an additional 6 hours a day, 5 days a week with their parents, over the course of their educational years, they would spend approximately 15,600 ADDITIONAL hours with their parents.
Almost 2 additional years of direct learning, emotional support, pursuing interests, bonding with their parents and siblings, compared to a child attending traditional school.
This is even better when you build your work-life around the family. To free up as much possible time to be active, and present, with your children as you raise them into adults.
Today you are stubborn,
My patience is thin
Today you’ll persist
Until I will give in
Today you are wilful
You’re strong and you’re bold
Today you’ll refuse to do
Things you are told
Today you will follow
Wherever I go
Today you will scream
When my answer is no
Today you are fierce
And today you are wild
Today you’ll remind me
That you are a child
Today every minute
Will seem to last hours
But over the years
I will realise your power
I’ll realise your stubbornness
Means you’re determined
And I’ll admire how you have
Learnt to stand firm and
How you know when
To sit down or step up
So full of conviction,
Self-worth and self-trust
So today you’ll be stubborn
Today you’ll be fierce
Today you’ll have spirit
That must persevere
Today you’re determined
Today you’ll be loud
But tomorrow you’ll lead
From the front of the crowd
And where once you were wild
I want you to stay
I don’t want you quietened,
Silenced or tamed
‘Cause yesterday’s bold
Will soon one day I’m sure
Be a force that our world
Has not known of before
And today you will talk
Of the impossible
But tomorrow I know -
You’ll be UNSTOPPABLE

Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.

She is... EXTRA.
She just is.
All the time she is extra sad, and then extra "OMG, Mom-that-was-so-epic-let-me-tell-you-everything.”
Extra energetic, then extra I'm too tired to help with any family chores.
Extra hungry, then extra refuses to eat her food she just asked for because she's full.
Extra defiant, then extra hands me adorable "I love you, Mom" art.
There is no middle ground with this kid.
And really, there never has been.
Sometimes that makes others label her "difficult" - and if we're being honest - labeled that way in our house, too.
But as I watch her continue to lean into who she is, I find myself more frequently stopping to admire her gift.
Because no one ever has to guess what's going on in her mind and heart. She expresses herself without fear of judgment and owns all parts of her expression. If she's feeling sad or frustrated, and someone seems annoyed by it - she will call them out and remind them she's allowed to have feelings.
There is no people-pleasing.
No conforming.
No adjusting who she is based on who's in the room.
(And, gosh, could we all learn from that.)
So while her "extra" can be hard to parent at times, I forever remain committed to never making her be less... because I know the world is already pointing the remote control her way and waiting to press "volume down."
So today?
I bite my tongue and take multiple deep breaths when I catch myself about to do the same thing, and instead create the space to let her figure out how to be her extra self. And I find ways to show her how she can use that passion to make a positive impact, and embrace that authenticity to inspire others to do the same, and channel that grit into the important things.
Daughter is extra.
And I pray no attempt to slow her down is ever enough.
Because the world needs more people like her.
