How to Save your Sanity and your Homeschool with Delight-Directed Learning
We’ve all been there as homeschool moms — the shiny new curriculum that looked so great in the fall is suddenly lackluster after the holidays. One of our kids hates math, the other won’t sit still through the read-alouds. The kids are reluctant to “do school” and we just don’t have the energy to keep fighting it. We simply can’t find our homeschool groove. Sound familiar?
I understand if you feel ready to throw in the towel. Or the math worksheets. Or you’re ready to redecorate your house in craft projects, wadded up bits of paper, empty ink cartridges, and call it the latest trend in home decor. Before you go off the deep end, let’s take a look at a secret weapon to restore the joy in your homeschool, for both you and the kids.
I’m talking about delight-directed homeschooling, also known as interest-led learning.

Delight-directed homeschooling can put the joy and eagerness to learn back into your homeschool. Here are some reasons to consider it:
- You want your kids to actually enjoy learning and gladly become lifelong learners.
- You want them to learn a little independence and take responsibility for their own education as they grow.
- You don’t want to have to struggle through each lesson.
- You want peace in your homeschool days.
- You don’t want to spend a lot of money on curriculum that you may or may not use.
- You want a gentle, relaxed, relationship-based approach to homeschooling.
Those are just a few of the most compelling reasons off the top of my head. There are so many benefits to learning this way!
