@foxyspirit believe in yourself and your abilities. You are fully capable of teaching your children. You know them the best. There are plenty of resources out there if you want to teach the math, reading and science. I agree with all the comments about teaching all the stuff that the system doesn't teach. We have a friend who teaches the school work but she has gotten her children involved in Jujitsu and she takes classes with the children like cooking, bush crafting, canoing down the river. There is so much out there that you can show/teach them. These extra skills can also teach them the math and science etc. They are just having fun learning and it is not from a book.

It is a worry I have as a mother to not be enough for my kids. I will have to teach myself to be more believing that I do have the capacity. As @earthmother has told me before, it takes a community to raise a child. And what you say here is just that. Teaching through different activities does do that. Thank you for bringing this to light. It is almost like a reawakening, or a new way of seeing. ^_^ I appreciate this knowledge you all share.
Happy to help. It does take a community to raise a child. We are not ment to do it alone. The nice thing is you have the internet to assist you. When we were raising our children there wasn't as much content up on the internet as there is now. I did find many lesson plans and wonderful activities to do with my kids when I was homeschooling. You have the world at your finger tips.
