I chose this beautiful, crazy life, and I completely understand why some people wouldn't choose it. But here we are. We have to do what we have to do. You don't want them to fall behind. You don't want to lose your mind.

Believe it or not, it's a golden opportunity.

Caveat: these are only my personal thoughts. I'm not a professional educator, just a parent successfully homeschooling.

This advice is only for people whose greatest hurdle right now is remaining sane with the little ones. This is a high bar to clear, to be sure, but some people are facing the little people plus big financial problems, they're sick or working through mental health issues, or they're managing other emergencies. In those cases, if you're keeping everyone more or less fed and warm then you're succeeding, and you don't need me to tell you to forget the rest for as long as necessary.
