Kim Kautzer is WriteShop’s creative director and co-author of WriteShop I and II. More than anything, Kim loves to encourage and equip homeschool moms who have a tough time teaching writing.

The rest of the time, they make their home in Southern California, where Kim enjoys reading, growing veggies, tinkering with the Sunday crossword, and drinking tea.
Award-winning WriteShop, her unique and successful writing program, has been honored as one of Cathy Duffy’s 102 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum. Kim blogs about writing at writeshop.com/blog.

My greatest struggle in homeschooling is teaching my struggling learners. My children have various learning challenges. Helping them reach their full potential is challenging!
Thanks for sharing, Amy. I hope to do a facebook live on learning challenges. Are there any specific ones that you would want to share? I’d love to address specific topics of my readers.
My oldest struggles with dysgraphia. My second has ASD (Aspergers), dyslexia, and SPD. My third has significant hearing loss, speech issues, severe dyslexia, and memory problems. My youngest has ADHD. So whatever topic you choose would be helpful!
Sounds like you have a wide variety of issues. I am praying for you and wisdom to help each of your kids.
What a blessing you are to so many. Iv never been to a teach them diligently conference, but have heard great things. May you all be blessed
Thanks Dana. I hope this week’s interviews encourage you. If you have any concerns, questions or challenges, please let me know. I’m going to be answering those each Monday.
My greatest struggle comes when I realize that I am struggling with consistency and time management. This leads to struggles with our oldest children whoa re in high school as well as our 5th grader and middle school aged child.
Katrina,
You are definitely not alone in time management or consistency. I think this is a common challenge. I hope to share more ideas each Monday about scheduling, managing time and consistency. Thanks for your honesty.
Too many choices, so much to learn, not enough time!
Lisa,
I think this is a consistent theme when I hear homeschool moms describe their biggest challenges. I started Mom’s Monday Lunch Bunch to talk about these type of concerns. I hope you can join us. Last week I talked about Overcoming Busyness. This Monday (Labor Day) I plan to talk about Making the Best Choices. It’s on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HowToHomeschoolMyChild/
Consistency and wanting to do it all are struggles many of us face. I do. Be encouraged, Ladies, that you are not alone and that you through God’s grace are enough and doing enough.
Amen Amy! It is only through God’s grace that we can be a mom to our kids. I love the verse that says: My power works best in your weakness. So true! I’ve seen it in my life that when I am weak, He is always strong.
