Jessica’s Tips for Creating the Balance

When we introduced Creating the Balance in early 1990’s, Mary Pride, THE homeschooling guru, commented I had fallen off my pedestal…to which I commented, “Great, I never belonged on a pedestal.” Creating the Balance is a course in how to homeschool showing the potential without the guilt. This was accomplished by allowing you to be a fly on the wall for 1 hour while I homeschooled my kids and for another hour while I taught a newly formed co-op of 5-6 year old’s who had never been together as a group before (very brave considering the cost of the camera man).

Not staged. One astonished mom said, “I cannot believe you let your kids climb on the kitchen counter!” I was unsure of her point but just offered, “He was helping to look for something.” There should be a balance between control and freedom, between instruction and discovery, between telling and experiencing, between order and creative mess, between still reading and moving drama. Every family needs to find the BALANCE for their family.

I have had numerous mothers tell me, I watch Creating the Balance at the start of EVERY year to get inspired with the potential! Mission accomplished. Bottled inspiration without the guilt.
