Am I doing enough? Have you ever asked that question? I think we've all asked that question.

If you're homeschooling your kids, you might ask it every single day or at least wonder about it.

Worry about it. We take up this work of homeschooling our kids because we want to raise them well.

Parenting comes with no guarantees, of course, but we'd like to increase the odds of

setting our kids up for success. And then we worry endlessly that we're not doing enough

that we aren't giving our kids what they need to succeed. If you're asking this question,

am I doing enough in my homeschool? You are not alone and we're going to talk all about it today.

I'm Sarah McKenzie and this is the Read-A-Loud Revival, the show that helps your kids

fall in love with books and helps you fall in love with homeschooling. Let's get started.

I ask this question constantly. It's like a constant, almost subconscious home in the back of my

head throughout the day. That's Andrea, an RAR premium member. RAR premium is our online community

for homeschooling mommas to help them fall more in love with their homeschools. And I asked members

there, what comes to mind when you think about this question? Am I doing enough? Because whatever

path we're taking down this homeschooling road, most of us are plagued by the question, am I doing

enough? And the thing is, we're sent this message of not enoughness, sort of everywhere. Andrea

mentions this too. So it comes out in lots of forms. Am I providing enough stimulation for my

children, particularly during COVID? That was a question when they weren't getting as much from

the outside world. Am I providing too much stimulation? I'll read a book like Simplicity Parenting

and think, oh no, I have too many things out. I need to pair back. Sometimes it's even just trying

to find the difference between what's neuroticism and worry in my mind about not doing enough and what

is an actual voice telling me you need to pay attention and do something different.

The question of whether we're doing enough is exacerbated by what we see online. This is true
