When Doubt Creeps In: Dealing with Homeschool Anxiety

Homeschooling is not a race to finish books or meet benchmarks. It’s a quiet, daily commitment to show up—with curiosity, with patience, with love. When doubt creeps in, it’s not a signal that you’re failing—it’s a reminder that you care deeply about getting this right. And that, in itself, is enough to keep going.
