There are many ways to learn about and how to homeschool. You can read, drain your friends\u2019 and acquaintances\u2019 brains, and surf the web. Join a co-op or support group to help you on your journey. But remember most of all to be kind to yourself, flexible, and ready to change if you decide what you’re doing at the moment is not the best fit for you or your family!<\/p>\n

\nHomeschool support groups can really help you on your journey. It’s nice to share with adults and get a jump on stress and burnout — especially while your kids are burning off energy playing at a park!<\/p>\n
\nTake time to read! I highly recommend starting with these two books:<\/p>\n\n
\nAsk your homeschooling friends what books really helped them. Ask them what worked for them and what hasn\u2019t, but remember your mileage may vary. They can tell you what worked for their family, but you\u2019ve got to decide what works for yours.<\/p>\n
\nThere are so many resources now out on the web, from homeschooling advice to free full-blown curriculum, such as the Charlotte Mason style curriculum available at Ambleside Online<\/a>. Listing all the homeschool links and maintaining that list is beyond the scope of this website and others, such as Donna Young,<\/a>\u00a0already do that task far better than I ever could.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
