Frequently Asked Questions
Here are clear, honest answers to some of the questions families often ask about Wonder & Scribble and home education.
Do I need to follow a curriculum?
No. A curriculum can be helpful for some families, but it is not required.
Wonder & Scribble resources are designed to be used flexibly alongside your own approach to home education.
Some families use them to support specific skills.
Some use them as creative extensions.
Some dip in and out as needed.
You do not need to replicate school at home to be doing it well.
What exactly does Wonder & Scribble offer?
Wonder & Scribble creates printable worksheets and creative learning packs for home-educated children.
They are designed to feel calm, supportive and pressure-free, especially for children who feel anxious, stuck or overwhelmed with learning.
They support confidence, emotional literacy and gentle growth alongside academic skills.
Optional online sessions will also be available for families who would like shared support alongside the resources.
What if my child struggles with reading or writing?
That is common, and it does not mean your child is failing.
Some children need more time.
Some need different approaches.
Some need less pressure.
Wonder & Scribble resources are designed to be flexible and emotionally supportive, so children can engage at their own pace.
They focus on building confidence, curiosity and skills gradually, rather than forcing performance.
Do your resources replace school or tutoring?
No.
Wonder & Scribble resources are learning tools, not a school replacement and not a tutoring service.
They are designed to support home-educated children with confidence, emotional literacy and gentle skill-building.
They work alongside your own approach to learning and parenting.
Am I behind if we are not doing “school hours”?
No.
Home education does not need to look like school.
Learning happens in many ways, not all of which are visible or measurable.
Wonder & Scribble resources are designed to fit around real life, real energy levels and real emotional needs.
There is no fixed pace and no pressure to “keep up”.
What if I do not feel qualified to teach?
You do not need to be a teacher.
Your role is to support your child, create space for learning, and use resources that feel useful for your family.
Wonder & Scribble is designed to make learning feel calmer and more accessible, even if you do not have a teaching background.
How do I know if my child is learning?
Learning is not always obvious.
It does not always show up in worksheets or tests.
Look for curiosity, growing confidence, new questions, small skill gains and increasing engagement.
Progress can be gradual and still meaningful.
What if my child refuses to use worksheets?
That is okay.
Wonder & Scribble resources are designed to be flexible.
They can be adapted, used creatively, or set aside and returned to later.
If a child feels overwhelmed or resistant, it often helps to step back, reduce pressure, and come back when they feel ready.
There is no expectation to complete everything or use the resources in a particular way.
Are these resources suitable for anxious or neurodivergent children?
Many families use Wonder & Scribble resources to support children who feel anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally sensitive around learning.
The resources are designed to feel calmer and more supportive than standard worksheets.
They are not clinical tools or therapy interventions, but they are informed by trauma-aware practice and gentle psychology ideas.
What if I am getting it wrong?
Home education does not come with a single right way.
There will be days when things feel easy, and days when nothing seems to work.
That does not mean you are failing.
You are allowed to do learning differently than at school.
And you do not have to do it perfectly to be doing it well.
