After fourteen of homeschooling, our family has been through plenty of ups and downs. Many (if not most) of us had visions of a loving, peaceful and focused homeschool environment where we made music, arts, crafts and beautiful memories together—only to find out that achieving a homeschool “Nirvana” was a lot more difficult than we could have imagined. I take an open and brutally honest look at seven of the biggest heart challenges in homeschooling and what the Bible offers us in terms of hope. The seven areas are: human depravity, peer pressure, perfectionism, anger, sibling strife, burnout and faith.
