Dear Homeschool Parent of young children,

Stop.

Just stop.

Stop buying curriculum.
Stop patrolling Pinterest.
Stop looking at art supplies.
Stop reading online forums.
Stop it with the workbooks and the printouts.
Stop comparing your children to other people's.
Stop stressing out that your child might be "behind."
You do not need to "create a preschool" at home and you do not need a teaching degree.
