I recently had a very interesting conversation with an acquaintance who asked about my personal homeschool journey. During our discussion, I learned that she was considering homeschooling but felt overwhelmed by the abundance of information and resources available. When I first started, I did a lot of research—so many philosophies, methods, and ideas to explore! Eventually, I found my stride as a mix of Waldorf and traditional homeschooling. One thing I’ve learned is that choosing the right homeschool approach is highly individual—what works for one family (or even one child) might not work for another. Sometimes, different kids need different approaches within the same household!
