"Doing more and being more pales in comparison to getting better at becoming."
In this episode, Leslie Martino & I discuss: - How Leslie wrote the book and clarified her understanding of homeschooling and motherhood.
- The process of becoming, for ourselves and our kids.
- Focus on personal growth and clarity on what we value is clear in how we live our lives.
- Is your why reflecting your how? Meaning and significance are attached to the why.
- Joy is our homeschool family goal.
- Ask ourselves why we're doing what we're doing.
- How we can use journal prompts and exercises found in her book, The Joy of Slow.
- The value of collecting our kids so we can hold onto our kids.
- How Leslie chose the homeschool life.
- What our routines and ways were as we homeschooled.
- Your child's homeschool story isn't complete at eighteen years old.
- Learning alongside our children and enabling our kids to live and learn.
- How we want the best for our kids but we need to be honest with ourselves and when our children want to make different choices than ourselves.
- How easily it is to lose our sense of self as a homeschool mom and how Leslie develops her interests alongside her kids.
"We must know what our children are becoming so that everything we do with them will try to support that process. However, let's not forget that we are becoming too. And getting comfortable with the growth process amid our shortcomings comes with the territory." Finally, you can find Leslie Martino, her book, The Joy of Slow, and her resources at:
