You may completely relate to some of these common concerns that I’ve heard over my many years of being a mama and reading teacher.

• • • “I’m not capable.”
    • “I don’t know what to teach.”
    • “My child is too young and only wants to play.”
    • “I’ll do it all wrong. I’m not a preschool teacher!”
    • “It’s too complicated and confusing.”
    • “There’s no way I could ever teach my own child.”
    • “I’m way too busy to add more to my plate!”
    • “I want do something…but I don’t know where to begin.”
