When a parent takes responsibility for educating their child, homeschool burnout is one of the most common have to deal. There are many reasons that lead to this
burnout: an illness, a new baby, added responsibility, change in routine etc.
The symptoms of burnout vary from lack of patience to overeating and crying for no apparent reason. Surprisingly, depletion need not be so bad. It is a wake up call - an indicator things are going well and you need to reschedule. Reversing or avoiding a burnout is possible if you just warning.
First, lower your expectations. Do not be a perfectionist. Take on good and bad. Then when something does not seem work, look for alternative methods. Flexibility is the key factor. If tension starts mounting, take a break. When necessary, change the style of teaching. For example, young children love have on their spelling when testing an adult.
Avoid excessive. Do not pack too many activities for the sake of socializing your child. A worn mother, a child in a bad mood and that means no happiness. Gaining the support of a spouse or neighbor or a support group. Do not try to do all things
yourself. Homeschooling through schooling happy - do not forget that.
