Comments on: Prioritizing mental health in your homeschool this year https://simplehomeschool.net/prioritizingmentalhealth/ Never let your schooling interrupt your education.

While working in a school this spring, I saw that education wasn’t really happening, and my child has special needs and can’t afford to get further behind. But more to the point, my child had a mental health emergency this summer brought on by the isolation caused by this pandemic and my high-risk status (yet another reason for us to stay out of the schools). Suddenly, we are dealing with the behavioral health system at the same time as homeschooling for the first time. I’ve been reading lots of blog posts that I just don’t relate to, about things like worrying about being a perfect instructor or the best homeschool family or making the prettiest homeschool room etc., whereas I am dealing with a tween continually teetering on the edge of a meltdown who is plastered to my side needing reassurance and continual encouragement. Surely we are not alone!

One loves school and thrives with online stuff the other needs the one on one instruction. With juggling a demanding full time job it will be challenging, but we will make it work. Thank you for these reminders, it helps!
