Homeschooling Mamas 🇬🇧

I have a 2.5 year old who understands everything you say to him (more or less when he wants to listen) but I’m not sure if our mother tongue is what is causing him to not be able to speak properly? I’m not sure whether he’s finding it difficult for him. My husband and I speak Polish to him and so does everyone else around him.

I asked him to say a few things in English and he’s repeated all the words I told him in English. What do I do? How do I get past this?

He isn’t using full sentences yet and just names things as he sees them or when he wants something or he uses his own language to talk and I try figure out what he’s trying to say whilst using words he knows already.

What am I doing wrong? What do you suggest?

Please and Thank you

Has anyone seen the new bill on home educating in the UK? It looks like they're trying to make it so much harder to be able to carry out with more monitoring etc.

Hey any home schooling mums who wish to chat and help me out :) x

Any one based in central(ISH) Scotland ? Either home schooling or flexi schooling. I'd love to connect with some like minded mums

I have like 101 questions 😅 I’ve been looking online but tbh haven’t found much

How and when did you start the process or transition to homeschooling?

How do I find what teaching/learning styles work for us? How will I know if it works?

Is hard to find a balance between parent & teacher?

How do I find out what my child should be learning and what stage they should be at?

How do I test them to find out what level they’re at and what we need to work on?

What is it like? Does anyone have any personal experiences they can share?

How do I find the national curriculum?

Any suggestions for books or websites to look at?

Any advice for if I only want to homeschool through primary school?

What were you most worried about going into it? How did it work out?

Also I have a list of pros and cons but does anyone have any personal pros and cons because I’m obviously just sort of making it up as I go along 😂

I want to do this properly. The reason I want to homeschool is to give my children the best possible education but I need to feel like I’m going to be able to do that. Any advice or pep talks for preparing mentally?

Where’s best to get resources and what will I need to get started?
