Everyone has unique strengths and weaknesses.
We all have some things that we are really good at, and some things that at which we fail miserably.
This isn’t news. We all know this… and yet, when it comes to homeschooling, we can get caught up in that “grade level” trap.
A Strengths and Weaknesses Approach to Homeschooling
Today, I’d like to talk a bit about strengths and weaknesses when it comes to homeschooling. Kara and I had a great chat about this topic. It is a subject near and dear to my heart as the mom of a gifted, twice-exceptional, and asynchronous kiddo.
The Homeschool Sisters chat about strengths and weaknesses in your homeschool
Is it normal for your homeschooler to have strengths and weaknesses in certain subjects? How much should you worry about keeping your child at grade level? Is there a way to know what your child “should” be learning?
This week, the homeschool sisters dive into these questions and offer up some thoughts about the “standards,” plus how to keep from worrying all the time.
They chat about kid quirks, dealing with state requirements, grandma doubts and dad concerns. And mostly, they remind you that all kids naturally develop on their own timelines, so don’t fret- you’ve got this!
