"As you can probably tell, I’m really torn between enrolling or taking a more natural approach. I have had many experienced moms tell me to just read aloud and explore nature at this age, and I am afraid enrolling will put more pressure on our family. But at the same time, having an advisor helping me walk through our struggles throughout the year sounds really nice!"
That is the dilemma, alright. So we are careful to discuss with our families what, why, when, how, and how much to use of the different activities, materials, and programs we recommend through the years so you can make informed decisions about what to add and what to let go of in your homeschooling year to year.
