First Things First
R crew is heading out on a brand new adventure this year and I really wanted to find a way to keep all of our thoughts, ideas, and experiences all in one place. Which is why we are here today.
R new adventure is that we are starting homeschooling in high school. We have adventured into the home schooling arena back in preschool and it was a huge success. That monkey wants to come home and school again. I suggested that she let her big sister get a chance to be just with mom for a year and then we'll talk about it again.
R circus ring leader has been asking to be home schooled for 3 years now. She finally took it upon herself to lay out a plan of attack and proper reasons why. Showing R head adventurer that she is definitely ready to take on some responsibility. Huge step.
Back when the girls where little they named themselves the monkey circus. Then we've had a peanut and a pickle. A turtle, a bird, and a kitten. Occasionally we have a potato. Some days I feel like we live in a zoo rather than a circus. R adventures have been small but many and the outcomes are always a surprise.
First step in R adventure is discovering what R girl is interested in and passionate about. What may she be willing to learn and what we're going to stand firm on what she needs to learn. R plan is to pull in a handful of women to be an influence on R girl and show her how to become stronger and more courageous. That there is a path laid out for her if she takes time to look around and seek it out.
The influences in her life at school these past three years have been extremes and not helped her social anxiety at all. Instead of letting her anxiety build more so that she sunk deeper inside herself, we decided to bring her home. Instead of letting the negative influences take advantage of that anxiety, we decided to bring her home. Instead of hoping for the best, we decided to make it happen.
It's going to be an interesting adventure that's for sure.
