wow this thread has been an eye opener. I am currently reading a few books on homeschooling etc and this has just confirmed a budding lightbulb moment for me:
regardless of homeschooling or filling in the spots at home inbetween school, we cannot push our agendas onto these kids of ours. We have to let them do their thing and just be there when they need us to answer questions / provide additional resources etc.
Flip this is hard - it's so much easier to "guide" them to what we feel they should be doing/ need. I guess for me personally I need to learn to breathe deep and trust that my kids will figure it out as they go. And that's okay too.
