A lot of emotional regulation. Yes! I homeschool my three sons ages 4, 6, and 7 And I’m constantly taken off guard by how my main job seems to be nurturing and training them in emotional regulation. Such important work.

I’ve heard from a few friends that puppies are just as tiring as newborns, so well done for managing the juggle!

Wonderful! I've just subscribed over at Owl By Night. It's nice to find another writer who is homeschooling for reasons other than conservative Christianity. Here in the US, it seems that the religiously homeschooling crowd is in the vast majority, or at least they are the ones I see most in the Facebook curriculum groups and the homeschool conferences here. I've felt a bit out of place because of our secular educational bent, to be honest. Anyhoo, I've started reading through the archives (both Catherine's here and yours at Owl By Night) and enjoying them very much!
