Are you trying to decide if Homeschooling your child is right for you?

Choosing to homeschool your child isn’t a decision you want to take lightly. As parents, teaching your child is second nature. You teach them to talk, walk and educate them about what to eat. It is fairly natural to want to be in charge of their formal education as well. I’ll help you navigate the ins and outs of the process before you’re committed so you know exactly what to expect.

Maybe you’re struggling to get organized in your homeschool effort.

It is absolutely crucial to your child’s learning success for you to stay organized. Creating a space that encourages learning and differentiating it from the rest of the home is a great first step. I have devoted an entire chapter to helping you get organized.

Homeschooling Essentials is your one-stop resource for making your homeschool experience a success.

If you are leaning in the direction of homeschooling your child, you will feel confident you have all the facts after reading this book. I have included proven steps and strategies on how to take on the all-important role of your child’s teacher. And I should know, I have homeschooled all 3 of my children with great success!

I have packed in numerous resources for finding materials to make sure this is the only tool you need to give your child everything they require to succeed. Record keeping and standardized testing concerns are fully addressed to help you feel comfortable with your decision to teach your child at home.

You will learn unique and established techniques for making your homeschool experience a rewarding adventure. Effectively sourcing curriculum is covered in chapter 3 so you will be confident with whatever program you choose. I’ve even included chapters covering teaching your child from preschool through high school so you can make the best decisions possible no matter what age your child is.

Introduction

Choosing to homeschool your child isn’t a decision you want to take lightly, but if you are leaning in that direction, you will feel confident you have all the facts after reading this book. As with any new job you undertake, you need to allow yourself some time to learn the ropes. Unfortunately, there isn’t going to be a trainer who can shadow you in your home those first few weeks as you work out the kinks of teaching. It is basically a learn-as-you-go situation. This is a good thing!

Your child will see how much effort you are putting into making their education one of the most important things in your life. And even if they don’t acknowledge it today, tomorrow or even in a few years, when they get out of the house and have their own children, it will mean something to them. They will see how much you cared and how much you were willing to give of yourself to make sure they were given the opportunity to learn in an environment they felt safe, comfortable and happy.

I have worked diligently to ensure this book contains the proven steps and strategies you need for taking on the all-important role of your child’s teacher. You will learn unique and established techniques for making your homeschool experience a rewarding adventure. Effectively sourcing curriculum is covered in chapter 3 so you will be confident with whatever program you choose. I’ve even included chapters covering teaching your child from preschool through high school, so you can make the best decisions possible no matter what your child age.

Resources for finding materials are also included to make sure this is the only tool you need to give your child everything they require to succeed. Socialization and standardized testing concerns are addressed to help you feel comfortable with your decision to teach your child in your own home. Nothing in here is sugar-coated. There are going to be days you struggle a bit, but know you are making the best decision for your child based on your values, opinions and research. So let’s get started!

One last thing, as a way of saying Thank You for buying my book I have put together a FREE GIFT just for you!
