I definitely fell into this trap when I first homeschooled my son! I had been a classroom teacher and was used to doing all the planning. Now I know better!

I don’t think I have necessarily fallen into the ego trap but I am so very proud of my adult kids and what they are accomplishing. I never pushed my kids into particular fields of study but they are studying what I had hoped they would! I find myself talking about it with friends. I do want to try to not bring it up unless someone asks. I will work on that! In our homeschool, I do try my best to follow my kids’ interests and strengths. I don’t force them to sign up for things they do not like. I have always thought it is futile for me to pay for an activity and take the time and energy to get my kid to an activity they do not even like!
