Kate,
You are not alone in being nervous about homeschooling. I was so nervous when I started and still have waves of panic every once in awhile.

When we started homeschooling, I planned everything and caused way too much stress for my son and me. But your son is young. Enjoy reading to him and playing. Spending time with you is an excellent foundation of love.

Beth,
Perfect means to be complete, finished. That is God’s work in us. He knows who we are supposed to be. I’m not so sure that I do, so it’s better to leave it up to him. ;)

Denese,
We put so much pressure on ourselves, don’t we? There is not such thing as Super Mom.

Michele,
I haven’t read a lot of homeschool books, but I really did enjoy this one. And, providentially, I read it during a difficult time this year.

Hey fellow twitterer, this looks like a great homeschool site. I’m so nervous about homeschooling. MY little monkey is almost four, and we’ve been doing home preschool since he turned three. I get nervous when I think about homeschooling Kindergarten. The two of us actually do pretty well together now, but at first it was a little rough. I’m a lot calmer now, and I guess it just took us awhile to figure each other out.

Good review. I agree, the book was very encouraging. I think it is the first homeschool book that I finished without feeling entirely inadequate.

This sounds like a really good book. I still struggle sometimes with feeling like I’m not doing enough, that I’m not “SuperMom”, as I’m sure a lot of us do.
Good review.
