Hey, moms, welcome to this week's podcast. I'm Durenda Wilson, wife to one, mom to eight,

Nana to nine, and 26-year veteran homeschooling mom. I am so thankful that you're here today. I think you're going to

love this podcast. We're going to be talking about perfectionism. I had a mom reach out to me recently

who wanted to just get a little bit of advice and counsel with a child who was a perfectionistic

child. And so I'm going to address perfectionism in general and talk about it

in us as moms and then also a bit about how to deal with it in our kids. Before I do that,

I encourage you to check out my book, The Four Hour School Day, how you and your kids can thrive

in the homeschool life. You can find that on Amazon at your favorite

bookseller or at my website, Duranda Wilson.com. Also, you know, I know there are so many of you

that have reached out to me before and asked me if I could mentor you. And, you know, I think we all want that. We all want

a homeschool mentor, someone who's been where you are and can help you along the way. And,

you know, this is one thing I love about homeschooling today, magazine. Except instead of getting just one mentor, you get access to a whole team of experienced

homeschoolers. You'll find my columns mom-to-mom and dear Dorinda in it. I invite you to

subscribe. I really love the printed version of this magazine. It's absolutely beautiful.

When you get it, go grab a cup of coffee and find a comfy place to get away for a little

while, just a few minutes.

You will be delighted to find many other voices that I trust to speak life into your

homeschooling journey as well. Let them encourage, inspire,

and walk alongside you. Let them help you to homeschool boldly with courage and freedom and an

unhurried heart. Speaking of mentoring, I mentioned before that moms often reach out to me to ask if I

can disciple them or mentor them

personally. And it just breaks my heart to not be able to do that because I'm only one person
