Overview

"So you've decided to homeschool. There's too much information out there and all of it is about what to do with your KIDS. There's precious little about what life is like for the Homeschooling Parent - and you want to know about things like... how will you socialize without school to help you get to know your kids' friends and their parents? what is it really like being home all day with your kids? why do other parents choose to homeschool? how are you ever going to handle high school (or middle school)? what are you going to do if you don't want to do this anymore? If it's way too hard? And the BIG Question: Are you going to fail your kids? This book is for YOU, the homeschooling parent (and for your support system of adults, though it's written for you). In these pages I will show you how to cope with teaching, chores, fears, and many of the everyday things that make us all stress out like crazy. Let me share with you the lessons learned from my six active kids (ages 20 down through 9 as of September 2022) and fifteen years of ""formal"" homeschooling, my experience running numerous homeschooling groups (for both parents and kids)... and from being a homeschooled kid (2nd-12th grades) myself. Your kid - and you - may have different ambitions, but let me tell you about how I - and my two homeschool graduates - have been accepted and successfully attended selective colleges in the USA. And the sports... yes, we've done sports as well as academics. And let me help you start (or continue) on your homeschooling journey as a friend who has gone this way first and hopes to smooth the road for you. "
