Gently, we have a new chapter ahead of us, and our Gently, we have a new chapter ahead of us, and our homeschooling chapter comes to an end. 
You will continue seeing less of me here as I prioritise pouring my energy into supporting ourselves during this transition.

For those asking,
The process: we started the school hunt early this year. We focused on mainstream schools we aligned with in terms of board, curriculum, mode of instruction and assessment, and discipline. We knew exactly what we wanted out of our school, and that helped immensely. The girls sat for interviews and written assessments, cleared them, and that's about it.

The why: We were always clear that we would transition to mainstream schooling between 9-10 years, and this is the right time for our family. 

My children are nervous, excited but also confident they will be supported. 

Me, I'm immensely grateful that I got front row seats to their learning for so long, glad we could shape their foundational years, prepared to support any gaps that may occur and giving ourselves plenty of grace.

My children are in 2 different schools this year and that means my hands are doubly full. But I'm also seeing tangibly, the ripple effects of the conscious work we've done so far and my heart is equally full.

Oh, I'm also excited about a new professional role outside my comfort zone, but that is a life update for another day.

If you're a parent who is on the fence- a soft reminder that homeschooling does not equate to lagging academic/ social/ emotional skills.
If you're a parent who has already chosen your journey, a soft reminder that the informed choice you make for your child's education has to make sense only to your family.

And if you're a reader here, send across a positive thought our way, okay?

To love, light, softness and support,
Vaishali

Food for thought- Are we sometimes forgetting the Food for thought- Are we sometimes forgetting the difference between processing, and regulating our emotions?

I'd love to hear what you think.💜
