Charlotte Mason-Inspired: The Heart Behind Abiding Wild
At Abiding Wild, we often say we’re “Charlotte Mason-inspired.” But what does that really mean?
It doesn’t mean we follow her method to the letter. We don’t hold fast to rigid schedules or rules. Instead, we’ve been shaped by the spirit of her philosophy…
“But What About Socialization?” (The Question Every Homeschooler Gets and Why We’re Not Worried)
If you’ve homeschooled for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard it:
“But what about socialization?”
Cue the dramatic pause. The concerned eyebrows. The subtle implication that your children might one day grow up to speak only in Morse code and woodland creature calls.
But here’s the truth: Our kids? They’re socializing just fine—thank you very much.
So You’re Thinking About Homeschooling...
Maybe you’re just beginning to consider homeschooling, or perhaps you’ve already made the decision to step into this sacred calling. Maybe the Lord stirred something in your heart — a conviction to bring your children home and guide their education yourself.
Perhaps it was the bullying, the tears, the constant homework, the rushed mornings… or simply the ache of knowing that you’re not the primary influence in your child’s life right now.
Whatever brought you here, I want to say — I see you, and I applaud your courage. Just entertaining this journey takes faith and intention. Welcome, friend.
