Description

All of us Home Educators feel this emotion on this journey - fear, which is related to anxiety and worry. 


"Have I done enough for my children?" 


"What if I have gotten it all wrong?" 


"Am I failing my kids?" 


In this episode, I share my reflections on this emotion to unpack it, and suggest some strategies to tackle it:


1) Making Home Education a mission 


2) Turn fear on itself and instead of thinking "what if", think about "what if not?" - What is the price or trade off if we are not homeschooling our children? 


3) Take action, one small step at a time. Taking action forces us to confront the fear, thinking about it just makes it bigger and more paralysing. 


We need to build faith to overcome fear - and faith, as Bob Proctor says, is about seeing the invisible, believing the incredible and achieving the impossible. We need to focus on the way forward, one step at a time.
