Let me know if you’re interested in a historical perspective. Much of what I have been reading about contemporary homeschooling is similar to what I did. There are differences however. I am on a “break” right now, but will be back soon!

Thank you for writing this, Mary-Ann. I appreciate learning how other parents find and experience museums and other attractions - I'm often intimidated by them. The more I read about others who explore museums, galleries, etc. with their kids, the more I feel inspired to do more stepping out with my children.

I agree museums can feel very intimidating. I think the key is low expectations! If they find one picture they love or are intrigued by, or see one fossil or tool that makes them go WOW, I think that’s mission accomplished. Cafe time!

Oh yes definitely. On HMS Victory Cian's dad did the whole audio tour and I just followed Cian around who wanted to know a bit about Nelson then to analyse the shape of the keel!
