I spent a couple hundred dollars last year on a spelling curriculum because I panicked I was failing my 10 year old. 🤦♀️ After about 4 months I tossed it … and after about 6 months my now 11 year old published her first book!
The fear is real. I gave in to it. But I saw and stopped the craziness. And I am seeing my child flourish. This is a journey, and I am glad to be on it!

This is such a powerful story!!
I happened to write on fear this week also after having a “schoolish hot flash,” to use Chemay’s term. Very real. Thank you for this. https://substack.com/@susyao/note/p-157855997
Oh man, I love that term! I've never heard it before! So relevant!
I think about that phrase a lot. It’s definitely a physiological reaction in my body.
