Wow, Mina. That is so true. Homeschool mom to homeschool mom interactions can be awkward and even hurtful. Been there. Thanks for the reminder of the power of words. Have a great day! 🙂

As homeschoolers we should encourage each other and help in anyway we can to moms first starting out. The worst comments I ever received came from a seasoned Abeka homeschool mom. I was just starting out and my son who was only 6 was struggling with reading(which is soooo normal). I was sharing about struggles trying to find what educational style worked best for my son. I was sharing that I found Charlotte Mason with an eclectic twist was a breath of fresh air. I won’t repeat what she said, but wow! We may not understand why someone chose the curriculum or philosophy, but trust that God is capable of leading them with what’s best for the children He put in their care.

I know! The questions usually flare my temper in the moment though. Working on coming up with some clever responses that are quick in the moment, polite, and direct.

Sometimes the concerns are quite laughable!
