In my homeschooling group the parents were recently talking about how at least one time or another your child is going to whine about what they have to do. They are going to complain and you are going to have to make them do it. I sat there thinking how I never have to coerce them into anything. They are eager to learn and love the time spent with me. If they are not interested in what I am offering I put it away or do it myself :) I was smiling inside at the fact that NO my children are not made to do anything to do with their education. I look over as I type and my 6yo is making a tin can phone. Think I should be making her do some Math? Nah. I think she has it covered! :) Wonderful list!

I think I'd be burned out and depressed too if I homeschooled that way. I believe it’s because they were all some variety of school at home types.

But I'm surprised that there was so much negativity among the more experienced homeschooling moms. How discouraging that must have been for positive newbie mom! Great list!
