17 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing. I stumbled into the homeschool world when sending my, then 6-year-old off to school, just didn’t feel right.
All I knew at the time was that I did not want to recreate school at home and so I set about immersing myself in all things home education. This was at a time when information and support here in Australia was very limited to say the least.
I’m sure you can understand that this was a period of immense fear and complete overwhelm.
After a great deal of trial and error, with limited support around me, and countless hours of searching, reading, and researching programs and resources. I finally began to find my feet and confidence with creating a d.i.y homeschool that provided us the freedom, flexibility, and connection that we all craved.
As my own confidence grew, I was then able to encourage and empower other home educators around me, by building supportive community groups that we could all benefit from.
I know without a doubt that my homeschool journey would not have been anywhere near as successful and enjoyable without the strength and support of a great community. This has most definitely seen me through all of the ups and downs of home educating over the years.
It is the depth of this support that I aim to bring to The Sweet Society members.
Not only well planned how to’s from the home educators that have gone before you, but the side-by-side emotional support that is invaluable when the going gets tough.
Because if there’s one thing I know, it is that homeschooling is most definitely a marathon and not a sprint. Whilst it might be hard it is also so very rewarding and so much more enjoyable with supportive, experienced friends by your side.
Succeeding in a DIY Homeschool means that you need to wear a lot of different hats. Some you will love and others will leave you scratching your head and asking why? We google until we can google no more, seeking answers and trying to figure out how to get it all 'just right'!
We're building our very own society. Where relationships will be created and deepened. To share stories, experiences, and guidance. To work together in a supportive, uplifting fashion.
