Step Back

This being only my 2nd year homeschooing, I still question myself, more than I would like. I also find that I have to prove myself to anyone who questions or inquires about my decision to homeschool. It is easy to try and keep with public school standards. Some examples are : reading levels, math levels, hand writing abilities and so on. I find myself from time to time worrying if everyone is where they should be for their grade level. Then I take a step back. I started homeschooling so my children could learn at their own pace. There are some things they will excel quickly in and some things they will struggle with. It is all a process and why we do the things we do.
