We are almost done with our first year home schooling and it went well, we could definitely be more organized. I call this last year the Kick back year or the trial year, this is all new to me but we are getting there, I wasn't going to start until this year but my son was eager so we took IMPERFECT ACTION and got started last year and I am glad we did my son has learned so much in the last school year it is amazing!
I am proud to say that we worked together on it and accomplished our goals. was it difficult? At times yes, just like anything we have ups and downs and those priceless moments as well.
I feel home schooling is one of the hardest best things I can ever do for my kids! But I do it and will be doing it for about 15 years counting my youngest in on this as well, I am in it for the long haul and there is no turning back for me I am dedicated and determined because I feel it is best for my kids and our family,
why I decided to home school.
For those who are starting out now or in the future, think about all of the benefits and the risks although there is little risk and it all depends on you and how hard you work for the education of your children. Home Schooling will work for your family if you all work together and make it happen!
Home Schooling also requires some sacrifice, of course as a parent/teacher you are taking on another role if you are a stay at home mom, you can add on the tile of Teacher as well. You will also have to get real good at making a single income work for your family for many years, if you are already a single income family and our making it work then great! For us we both stay home I mostly teach and do the stay at home mom thing and my husband works online our goal is financial freedom so we can do more for our kids in the future. We want to do our best to teach our kids about life, fiances, how to make money, how to be financially independent and for us it is and will be for years to come our
family business!
You will also have to sacrifice some of, well most of your time to educate your children, for me it is totally worth it I am a home body anyway LOL! Anywhere I go my kids go 99% of the time. We go to the park and many other places and when we are home it is school time for the most part although I consider life school time, my kids don't go to school we simple educate our selves daily and my kids love to learn through workbooks and activity.
For us this is all worth it and the best for us, I hope it is for you too if not that's OK just remember to do your best and if your kids are or will be going to school then all I can say is be involved all the time know everything about your kids, there friends, the Teachers and the school itself. These days school are getting by teaching things to children way before they are ready to know some things, school is a microcosm of the world and not just the good stuff!
