The biggest hurdle I need to jump while with high anxiety

[Starrlight]

I have to prepare for homeschooling!!! and I get so anxious just thinking about it to the point I can’t focus enough to actually do it. My family thinks I’m silly for worrying but you know I care so much about their education and I’ve never done this before. I did help during virtual school so I have some background Am I making this harder than it has to be I wonder? I should just jump in!

I am figuring out a schedule of subjects and need to try to make up some daily plans to do every day …my sister gave me some books to work from like teacher manuals and workbooks but only for a few subjects I don’t have a full curriculum I’m going to substitute with you tube for some subjects and some subjects are obviously separate for them since they are in different grades but some topics we can do all together like art, health, photography, psychology maybe even science…and reading time silently. So my high schooler is pretty independent when it comes to schoolwork and we have a list of what he needs to learn throughout the year broken up into chunks with our state’s standards of learning. English and Math are the main subjects so I’ll focus on those a lot. I don’t know how I’ll teach math. Ugh I have the books maybe my older son can help teach my younger because he is thinking of becoming a teacher so… and I want to give them real life skills not just textbook stuff you know!?

Ok enough processing I need to meditate. I’m a mess. Thanks for listening. I will figure things out in time.

You will do great because you care so much. I know many people who have successfully homeschooled their children. It is a wonderful option.❤️🌟

Thanks Hope. I really appreciate the encouragement Yeah I care soooo much that I’m making myself crazy. This is what I do. But you’re right I will do it. I have to relax if I’m going to get any work done today so I took some hemp oil and it’s helping a little. I have to remind myself that this opportunity can be a fun experience for me and the kiddos if I let it be.

I can’t think straight you guys . I need to relax I just am so upset right now. 😢 I keep thinking of all I need to do and it’s making me frozen. Do you get feeling this way?

edit: my family helped me to get to a better place… I’m a bit better now. They are so encouraging and patient with me. I’m so blessed.

We had been used to doing virtual school for two years and then I chose homeschooling it seemed a great idea!!! I’m just having doubts and once I get into it I’m sure it will work. I’m done with virtual teachers and my kiddos like to be home I want this to work so badly. The schools are open.

You've got this. It's overwhelming but you have broken down what you need to do into smaller steps. Sometimes taking a break helps. ❤

Yes I will give myself breaks. I’m studying today and ordering a homeschooling book by a successful homeschool mom. Thanks for you encouragement!!!
