Imposter Syndrome for Homeschool Families and Beyond

For anyone straying away from the standard, imposter syndrome is an increased threat.

Learners and families who homeschool, especially those who unschool, are marginalized as different. They make choices considered controversial. They sometimes find it difficult to find a flow that works for them. They often receive less support because they are no longer connected to large institutions, schools, with a multiplicity of resources (labs, gyms, etc). Depending on your location and your background, community can be harder to locate and lean into. This is not to erase the beneficial value of choosing homeschooling. If that’s what your family needs, go after it. Follow that.

Self-Directed & Successful: Richard Branson, Da Vinci, Madam C.J. Walker, and YOU

The cost of inaction is not always monetary, though it can be. The cost of doing nothing may be more time wasted. Or, returning to the earlier research, the cost may be mental anguish or pain.

I can only speak for myself, but for me personally, I credit self-directed education with saving my life.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by conventional systems, this is your reminder: you’re capable of crafting your future.
