The 2023 new year homeschool goals printable is ready. You’ll love the other forms I have for my free homeschool planner.

This new year goal printable is one I love especially because it reminds me to keep goal setting simple.

And to not fill in so many goals that I can’t reach them.

One of the best parts I like about the form is to remind myself to have Less of This.

2023 New Year Homeschool Goals Printable (Get it Together Girl)

It’s important to remind myself that some things I need to let go.

I don’t want to have pie in the sky goals, but to be reminded to homeschool and live simply.

Besides, the new physical year is a half-way point if you’re following an academic year.

And a half-way point is a good reminder.

Homeschool Goals

Also, goal setting means doing LESS OF THIS.

I’ve learned doing more means that I have to let go of something.

Different things can weigh me down. I mentioned being too critical of myself is one thing that holds me back.

Letting go each year or at least reminding myself to let go each year, I can start with a fresh slate.

Maybe this next year you need to do more of something which is productive.

Just remember that being productive means doing less of something. It means making room for it.

What are you going to be doing LESS OF this next year?

Grab the form below. It’s easy to fill out because it requires few words! Keep goal setting simple.

How to Fuse Personality and Learning Styles to Choose the BEST Homeschool Curriculum

It’s a sanity saving tip to know how to fuse personality and learning styles to choose the best homeschool curriculum. You’ll love the other tips I have on my page homeschool learning styles.

Understanding you and your child’s personality differences and how it affects learning styles in homeschooling is valuable.

While choosing homeschool curriculum, thinking about my children’s learning personality was not tops on my list. That was a mistake.

How to Fuse Personality and Learning Styles to Choose the BEST Homeschool Curriculum

Today, I’m sharing a few quick tips in how to combine your child’s learning personality and homeschool learning style.

Knowing how your child learns best helps you reduce stress and struggling.

However, before I go further, I want to give you a heads up about learning styles.

There is no way science can fully understand how the magnificent brain takes in information.

But getting a general understanding of why your child may struggle in one subject and excel in another will help you reduce the struggle.

Questions to Know How to Combine Personality with Learning Style

To begin with look at these three tips to help you weigh how a homeschool curriculum will fit your child’s learning personality.

1. What is the approach of the curriculum you’re interested in?

For example, if you know your child has done best with moving while learning then a traditional workbook approach is not the choice for your family.

Too no matter how comfortable you are with the curriculum, if it’s not a fit for your child, you will face resistance.

So, when a curriculum does not fit our child’s personality, it can make stress increase.

Look at my post Top 5 Homeschool Approaches New Homeschoolers Need to Know to understand what are the top homeschool approaches.

Remember, all curriculum falls into one or more approaches.

Next, you need to know what has not worked.

2. What curriculum has NOT worked in the past?

And it may seem like an obvious question, but I’ve learned identifying what will work means to identify exactly what did not work.

Then identify what was the approach of the last curriculum you used which didn’t work.

How to Fuse Personality and Learning Styles to Choose the BEST Homeschool Curriculum

Third, identify what is your child’s strength.

So much focus is on what a child can’t do instead of what he can do.

3. What is your child’s FAVORITE subject?

Furthermore, to identify with better accuracy what is a child’s learning personality begin with knowing what is his favorite subject.

Next hear my heart when I say be sure it’s your child’s favorite subject and not yours or the one you want them to know because it’s your favorite.

Then, is it a content or skill subject?

Look at my post Skill Subjects vs. Content Subjects: What’s the Difference.

For example, if your child’s favorite subjects are art and music and he struggles with writing, he may be more of a creative thinker.

However, if you child prefers to walk around reading encyclopedia or from his device, he could be analytical.

Matching his strong points to homeschool approaches is vital. For instance, Charlotte Masson puts an emphasis on music and art and delaying language arts.

However, there are more ways to identify your child’s learning personality.

Grab this 35+ Best Homeschool Curriculum By Learning Style (free printable).

Why Your Child’s Learning Personality is Important

Because teaching styles are only part of choosing curriculum easily, I’ve included a link to my online course Identifying Your Homeschooled Childs Learning Personality.

How to Determine the Best Learning Style Approach for Your Child? Determining the best learning style approach is much easier when you know about homeschool learning styles. A learning style is not something I thought about when I started homeschooling or even when my kids were struggling. However, had I taken time to learn what is the best learning style for each of my children, I would have saved myself unnecessary stress.

YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How to understand the way your child prefers to learn so that you can teach him in a way that he enjoys learning;
  • How to pinpoint your child’s learning personality;
  • A starting point in understanding (barring any special learning challenges or disabilities) and accepting your child’s preferred way of taking in information;
  • Understanding when the learning personality emerges; and
  • Teaching tips for each learning personality to stop the head-butting.

Day 23 When Your Child Hates Homeschooling And New Homeschooler Free Bootcamp

Today is day 23 when your child hates homeschooling of the 31 Day Free Boot Camp for New Homeschoolers. 

Turning to a serious note, I want to address one more mind-set that could potentially debunk your smooth new beginnings.

And that is the attitudes of you and your children toward your new lifestyle.

Not long into your journey you may hate homeschooling. Your children may hate homeschooling.

Day 23 When Your Child Hates Homeschooling And New Homeschooler Free Bootcamp #hateshomeschooling

So, this week is called “When It Happens” because I want to arm you with some positive thoughts that will help you to sail past any feelings of pestering doubt.

Also though it can feel flat out defeating when your child hates homeschooling.

First, it is normal to come down off the homeschool honeymoon.

First Time Homeschooler

Crazy as it sounds, homeschooling is like a honeymoon and similar to how your life changes after the wedding.

Everybody looks so good dressed up in their best on their wedding day and the start of anything new is beautiful and memorable.

However, day to day routines and chores set in and it is about cooking, working and cleaning.

Beginning to homeschool and settling in to a new routine is similar.

The new books have lost that delightful new smell and now you question if it was a good fit in the first place.

Your room, your routine and your reading program don’t look as good as they did when you first selected them.

school bus little dear does not want to homeschool

New Beginnings Homeschool

However, that only compounds the feelings of inadequacy if your children also tell you that they hate homeschooling, miss their friends and want to go back to school.

Now your journey calls for sheer grit and an iron will.

Over the years, I have had many homeschool parents tell me that since their children are missing their public school friends that they were returning to public school.

Even though I feel that my face may show my utter disbelief that a child of any age is dictating his future, I can say thankfully I have never responded in a negative way.

10 Questions When Your Child Hates Homeschooling

The truth of it is, we all need to self-analyze and be prepared to answer mind-numbing questions like these:

  1. When does a child determine what is best for him?
  2. Who has been given the responsibility to train and educate a child, even a teen?
  3. Can I change something about the way I teach so that my child is more engaged? Is this the missing component in our homeschool day?
  4. Have I loitered too much at home when my child obviously needs friends?
  5. If I have driven myself almost insane by having my child participate in socialization activities, then is my child’s attitude an obedient one toward the decision that his father and I have made?
  6. Has my child fallen victim to the faulty thinking that friends have to be their same age? Or have I?
  7. Are the friends that my child may have left behind at public school and their parents the kind of people that I would treasure for my child for a lifetime? Would they encourage my son in the paths of goodness?
  8. Instead of ruling with an iron will, can I show my child that I am open to his needs, without him thinking that the has the right to determine what is best for him at 10 years old or 17 years old?
  9. Do I keep asking my child if he is missing his friends, and by inference he is thinking that he missing out on something?
  10. Do I TRULY believe that I am giving my child a superior education and show it by my actions and commitment?

As you can see homeschooling a lot of times becomes more about parenting or the lack thereof, which makes this a very delicate but sober topic to bring up.

Here are some tips that I have found that work over the years when others have said their child hates homeschooling.

5 Empower Yourself Tips When the Little Dear Doesn't Want to Homeschool @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

5 Tried and True Tips for First Time Homeschoolers

If you or your child hates homeschooling, look at my five tried and true tips below.

1. Do not threaten to send your child to public school.

From the beginning of your journey, do not use the thought of returning to public school as a way to entice a child to do his work or change his attitude.

From my experience and as unintentional as we may mean it, a child may feel they he has been given a choice and is on equal footing with us.

Even teens need to understand that they are not co-parents.

2. Your attitude matters more than you realize.

The attitude of the parents mean more to your child than you realize.

For example, if you are constantly asking your children if they miss their friends, well meaning as you are, could you be planting a seed of doubt that your new lifestyle is not superior in every way?

Creating doubt fosters dilemmas.

3. Go gentle with your child as they now see you as teacher.

Sometimes it is not homeschooling that is the negative, but children may now resent you as the teacher.

This happened to me when I took Mr. Senior 2013 out in Kindergarten and I still had to retrieve back my status as teacher from a 5 year old.

Children are smart at a very early age and it takes time for them to now respect you as the teacher.

You don’t need their approval.

4. Homeschooling is a different way of learning and is hard for some kids in the beginning.

There is no sweet cake way to put it, but homeschooling can be flat out hard. Studying is more than finding an answer or superficial reading.

It is about comparing, analyzing and tying it into something your child knows.

Some children are not prepared for studying the depth of any subject.

Up until this time, your child may have had many interruptions in class time.

Short spurts of critical thinking in a classroom cannot prepare your child for the possible challenges of intense 1:1 help he now gets.

Day 23 When Your Child Hates Homeschooling And New Homeschooler Free Bootcamp

When my sister’s daughter started homeschooling in the 3rd grade, they had crying matches each day.

My sister was pushing too hard to “complete” a day’s assignments and my niece was feeling quite behind from what she did not know. A lethal combination leads to misery.

I cannot emphasize enough that if she had gone with a lower grade level for her first year instead of pushing ahead thinking that her daughter would get behind, her first year would have been way more easier.

5. Children deserve explanations. It’s one thing to give explanations, but quite another to make lifelong choices.

Dignifying your children with explanations is a beautiful thing because they deserve it.

It is okay to tell them your plans, hopes and even fears, but dignifying them with information does not mean they have the right to question your choices.

I made it my determination from the beginning that if anything controversial ever came up and my children wanted to return to public school that I would do whatever it took to not have that happen.

And that children have to experience bad to appreciate good is not thinking I aggre with. I don’t have to cut off my right arm to appreciate my left.

They do not need to experience the negative effects of peer pressure, drugs and immorality to appreciate good.

New Homeschooler

I never left it up to my sons to determine if they wanted to go back to school. When you child hates homeschooling, it’s never easy to hear.

However, whatever the reason, take time to listen to your child and make right what you can.

Of course, this is different if you start homeschooling when your teen is already in 11th or 12th grade.

That is a very different circumstance and I am not saying they get all the final say so as to the decision.

It never is easy when the little dear does not want to homeschool and decides he wants to return to public school.

Fortifying yourself now with the mind-set that homeschooling is YOUR way of life will allow you to embrace it’s benefits.

I am not encouraging homeschooling without regard for your children’s tender feelings.

But it is about finding a solution that does not involve returning to what you left in the first place because it didn’t work.

Instead of focusing on what you think your child is missing out on, focus on what you and your child will be included in and NOT just for this year, but years to come.

Homeschool with a goal in mind that goes beyond your first or second year and when the dear decides he doesn’t want to homeschool, you will already have a back up plan in place.

Day 22 Homeschooling Preschoolers And New Homeschooler Free Bootcamp

Today is day 22 homeschooling preschoolers of the 31 Day Free Boot Camp for New Homeschoolers. 

You’re tough, you’re tough! You have hung in there with me on this series and this is the official 10 day countdown.

Before I started homeschooling I had read an article where it said that the major portion of an individual’s personality is well established before school.

Day 22 Homeschooling Preschoolers And New Homeschooler Free Bootcamp

Suddenly, my ideas of homeschool preschool learning changed because I realized that those years would form the very attitudes and patterns that would be lasting. WHOA!

And I had thought preschool was all about coloring and ABC’s.

Certainly, homeschooling preschoolers is so important because it’s the very foundation of all future learning.

Homeschooling Preschoolers

I knew that if I didn’t find a balance between easy going and exacting that anxiety, doubt, worry and fear would drive me to the public school. Guess what? It did.

Doubt turned to fear, fear turned to feelings of failure and feeling he was already behind in kindergarten, I sent him to public school for part of that year.

Let me tell you the rest of this story by telling what I did and did not do before I sent him to Kindergarten.

I did

  • teach him how to write and read by Kindergarten.
  • play, do crafts and learn music.
  • keep the roads hot and heavy by traveling to all kinds of field trips and museums.
  • sing nursery rhymes to him.
  • read from beautiful books and cuddle every day.

I did not

  • know, let alone worry about standards because I was blissfully ignorant about any kind of standard.
  • use a formal curriculum program. Brighter Vision Learning Adventures is a box that came each month to my home with a bright colored workbook, a craft, a book and music.  Mr. Senior 2013 loved it and I loved it too. It no longer is in business.
  • worry about socialization because we had music classes and gymnastics.
  • stop worrying about what is coming up in the next grade and this led to me sending him back to public school.

Looking back now and after the first few days of public school Kindergarten, I realized that he was way advanced.

Tips for Homeschooling Preschoolers

It’s true that children are hardy, I just wished that I would have aimed for soaking up cherished moments.

I didn’t know Kindergarten was about learning to read and write. I put extreme pressure on Mr. Senior 2013 to perform.

What I have learned is that preschool is just that!! PRE- means BEFORE school.

That is the time to focus on “readiness” skills. That is NOT the time that our children learn to hold a pencil grip correctly, but that is the time to train them to hold it correctly.

This is NOT done by holding a pencil, but by playing games, being outside and doing crafts that help them learn fine motor skills.

Children are capable of so much more during these years than we sometimes give them credit for.

Burnout out looms in Kindergarten or first grade because “formal school” started way too earlier.

You have to let go of the feeling that your child will be behind because you spent the day doing crafts, playing and reading and that surely there should be something more “serious” that you should be doing.

It is not easy to combat the thinking of the education world that early teaching has to be formal. Children learn by play.

There is a reason we learned all those fun nursery rhymes and that is because memorization and hearing word patterns is a skill set need for reading.

How to Homeschool Preschoolers

Mustering up the courage to take my son back out of school during his Kindergarten year was not easy, but I had learned a VERY valuable lesson.

No longer would I question what I done even in my ignorance.

The struggle empowered me to put faith back into the naturalness of homeschooling. I know not everyone homeschools for faith based reasons and I respect that in my workshops.

For me though it is the very core of my homeschooling.

Parents have been given the responsibility of educating our children and viewing it as the next extension of parenting helps you to meet the challenge.

During their toddler years and preschool years I have rocked, talked and cuddled and read to my sons and it has given them an excellent start to their formal education. Homeschooling with preschoolers is not for the faint hearted, but home is for the brave.

Will you meet the challenge?

Day 1 Learn The Lingo and New Homeschooler Free Bootcamp (& free glossary)

Today is day 1: Learn the Lingo of the homeschool world in the free 31 Day Free Boot Camp for New Homeschoolers.

Congratulations on your new beginnings as a new homeschooler. It’s an exciting journey for sure. I wrote this series well over 9 years ago.

Not only am I updating this free first time homeschoolers series, but I’m sharing some of the best ever homeschool resources.

For day one, I’ll be sharing why it’s important to start with how to find the information you need.

Day 1 Learn The Lingo and New Homeschooler Free Bootcamp (& free glossary)

Many new homeschoolers begin their journey thinking the public school world and our homeschool world are similar.

They are not. You’ll need to know how to navigate the homeschool world.

And that begins with knowing new terms to you but that we speak everyday in the homeschooling world.

First, I want to share a story with you which will help you to appreciate that you have to have some skin in the game.

New to Homeschool

Have you ever heard the butterfly story? The short version is that a little boy runs to tenderly cut open a cocoon to help the struggling butterfly emerge.

Even though he had good intentions to assist the butterfly, the butterfly’s fragile wings never expanded.

The butterfly just walked around with a swollen body, shriveled wings and never did learn to fly.

Struggling was part of the empowerment and essential to the development of the butterfly.

As a seasoned veteran, I want to make your beginning less difficult with this 31 day free new homeschooler boot camp.

However, just like the beautiful butterfly which emerges from a struggle, your struggling with various homeschool issues will empower you.

Most people don’t want to hear that, but if you think about your parenting journey it’s similar to that. We do as much as we can to prepare for our first child.

However, nothing compares to the personal experience of raising a family.

As you emerge and face each issue, I want the topics in this series to be a soft place for you to land when you become overwhelmed.

The best way for me to do that is start from the beginning on what I feel you need to know.

Based on my many years of personally helping new homeschoolers and conducting workshops through my new bee program.

Who is Tina Robertson

But before you can appreciate how I can help you here are are a few things about me. Sure, this free new homeschooler boot camp is all about you.

However, you need to know that I’m not new to the homeschool world.

Too, I have 3 homeschooled grads. So I’m well past having my oldest kid being 10 years old.

But the best part is that what I have for you works.

Also, look at a few other things about me.

And I have a detailed self-paced online homeschool Kickstarter course. It is a detailed comprehensive course for first time homeschoolers.

That is enough about me.

This new homeschoolers free boot camp is about you. I’ve not only been helping new homeschoolers in person, but here at my site for years.

Let’s dive in because I know that your questions in the beginning focus mainly on one topic and that is choosing curriculum.

Having curriculum is viewed as the hallmark of homeschooling.

And I have much to tell you on how to select it.

However, I would be doing you a great disservice if I jumped right to that topic without building in you an appreciation of the homeschooling world.

You can’t come to appreciate all the facets of the homeschooling world if you cannot communicate with us and talk the talk.

Key to extracting answers to your questions during your journey is to use and know homeschool lingo.

New Homeschoolers's Glossary of Terms

So, I have a gift for you. It is a printable glossary of homeschool terms.

This will get you well on your way to minimizing the struggle and maximizing your time.
