Every homeschool family has its own goals and expectations. For some, homeschooling brings to mind meaningful moments, joyful learning, and the opportunity to enjoy each step of the journey. 

Until it’s not. Then what? 

If you’re feeling like you’re in over your head right now, you are not alone. Abeka is here to help your family thrive while homeschooling. 

What Do I Do? 

First of all, relax. You’re not alone, and you’re certainly not a failure.  

We all doubt ourselves occasionally and go through rough patches. It’s okay to admit it, and it’s a good idea to talk about it. 

Reach out to other local parents who homeschool. Voice your frustrations and concerns in one of the many online forums available for homeschool parents.

In fact, you’re bound to find support and many voices of experience on the Abeka All Access Facebook group. 

By talking to others, you’ll be able to get to the heart of the issue: is this rough patch something you can get through with a few simple changes in your process or mindset? Or is it something best addressed by exploring additional options?

Find Some Help 

One idea a lot of parents harbor is that homeschooling means you have to teach all the lessons. That may have been the case back when homeschooling was beginning its resurgence in the United States, but not anymore.

If you need to find another way to teach your children at home, consider Abeka Academy video homeschooling, which is built on the same proven approach that’s taught in the Abeka textbooks.  

With Abeka Academy, master video teachers lead the lessons on streaming video or DVD. Parents provide the follow-up: checking work, grading assignments, reinforcing concepts, etc. Your children learn from educators who have a special gift for communicating skills and concepts. So, you get more time to do everything else you have to do as a parent.
