When I began homeschooling in 1985, I was naively oblivious of the time commitment I was taking on\u2014twenty years! But I immediately discovered that being a homeschool mom tends to be a full-time career. Our kids are always there, always needing something to be fixed, explained, picked up or cooked. Now, don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014there are amazing benefits to this job that money can\u2019t begin to buy. But there are a few things that can make a real difference in whether you are able to finish what you have started. One of them is giving yourself permission to go off-duty at times.<\/p>\n

For me, one of the lifesavers of homeschooling was the hour-long quiet time we had after lunch. Once the dirty dishes hit the sink, we would each go to our rooms to sit on our beds! (You’re dubious, right? But your wrigglers are no wigglier than mine, and you are already training them to sit for meals and church and car rides. We just took one more step.) As long as the activity was quiet, each of us could do what we liked. For some, it was the perfect time to build with Legos, for others, it was a treasured free reading time. For me, I could rest, read, chat on the phone or contemplate new thoughts over a cup of coffee\u2014all by myself<\/em>. If you can picture an oasis in the desert or see yourself in a Thomas Kinkade painting, you will know how much I valued this daily break.<\/p>\n

Once a week I also had a time-out\u2014an inexpensive date\u2014with my husband, while a friend baby-sat. Sometimes we just walked and talked, other times we dined and discussed. It was refreshing, renewing and often exactly what was needed to give me much-needed perspective for the job.<\/p>\n

And, for a time, I was scheduling a once-a-month visit at a lovely tea shop with a homeschooling friend. What insight and encouragement came from those times, when we would discover that, as moms, the problems we thought were unique weren\u2019t all that unusual.<\/p>\n

I know that nowadays, interaction with other homeschoolers is as close as your Internet connection. But the luxury of tea served in a china cup, with a precious friend to share it, and the mini-vacation aspect of a few hours away still makes it richer and more deeply refreshing than our daily face time with a computer screen.<\/p>\n

We all remember the old saying, \u201cIf Mama ain\u2019t happy, ain\u2019t nobody happy.\u201d Because this is true\u2014daily, weekly, monthly\u2014taking time for restoration and renewal is time well spent. It will pay huge dividends for you and your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

12 de noviembre de 2014 Cuando comenc\u00e9 a educar en casa en 1985, ingenuamente no me daba cuenta del compromiso de tiempo que estaba asumiendo: \u00a1veinte a\u00f1os! Pero inmediatamente descubr\u00ed que ser madre que educa en casa tiende a ser una carrera de tiempo completo. Nuestros ni\u00f1os siempre est\u00e1n ah\u00ed, siempre necesitan que les arreglen, les expliquen, les recojan o les cocinen algo. Ahora bien, no me malinterpreten: este trabajo tiene beneficios sorprendentes que el dinero ni siquiera puede comprar. Pero hay algunas cosas que pueden marcar una diferencia real en cuanto a si eres capaz de terminar lo que has empezado. Uno de ellos es darse permiso para salir de servicio en ocasiones. Para m\u00ed, uno de los salvavidas de la educaci\u00f3n en el hogar fue el tiempo de tranquilidad de una hora que ten\u00edamos despu\u00e9s del almuerzo. Una vez que los platos sucios llegaban al fregadero, \u00a1cada uno de nosotros \u00edbamos a nuestras habitaciones para sentarnos en nuestras camas! (Tienes dudas, \u00bfverdad? Pero tus retorcidos no son m\u00e1s inquietos que los m\u00edos, y ya los est\u00e1s entrenando para sentarse durante las comidas, la iglesia y los paseos en auto. Simplemente dimos un paso m\u00e1s.) Mientras la actividad fuera tranquila, cada todos pod\u00edamos hacer lo que quisi\u00e9ramos. Para algunos, fue el momento perfecto para construir con Legos, para otros, fue un preciado tiempo de lectura gratuita. Para m\u00ed, podr\u00eda descansar, leer, charlar por tel\u00e9fono o contemplar nuevos pensamientos mientras tomaba una taza de caf\u00e9, todo solo. Si puedes imaginarte un oasis en el desierto o verte a ti mismo en un cuadro de Thomas Kinkade, sabr\u00e1s cu\u00e1nto valor\u00e9 este descanso diario. Una vez a la semana tambi\u00e9n ten\u00eda un descanso (una cita econ\u00f3mica) con mi marido, mientras una amiga cuidaba a los ni\u00f1os. A veces simplemente camin\u00e1bamos y habl\u00e1bamos, otras veces cen\u00e1bamos y discut\u00edamos. Fue refrescante, renovador y, a menudo, exactamente lo que necesitaba para brindarme la perspectiva que tanto necesitaba para el trabajo. Y, durante un tiempo, estuve programando una visita mensual a una encantadora tienda de t\u00e9 con un amigo que educaba en casa. \u00a1Qu\u00e9 conocimiento y aliento vinieron de esos tiempos, cuando descubr\u00edamos que, como mam\u00e1s, los problemas que pens\u00e1bamos que eran \u00fanicos no eran tan inusuales! S\u00e9 que hoy en d\u00eda la interacci\u00f3n con otros educadores en casa es tan cercana como tu conexi\u00f3n a Internet. Pero el lujo del t\u00e9 servido en una taza de porcelana, con un precioso amigo con quien compartirlo, y el aspecto de mini vacaciones de unas pocas horas de viaje a\u00fan lo hacen m\u00e1s rico y profundamente refrescante que nuestro tiempo diario frente a la pantalla de una computadora. Todos recordamos el viejo dicho: "Si mam\u00e1 no es feliz, nadie es feliz". Debido a que esto es cierto (diariamente, semanalmente, mensualmente), tomarse el tiempo para la restauraci\u00f3n y la renovaci\u00f3n es un tiempo bien empleado. Pagar\u00e1 enormes dividendos para usted y su familia. \n\t\t
