Publisher's Synopsis
As we cozy up with cups of hot tea & talk about homeschooling together, you'll realize that I am like a laid-back next-door neighbor with eclectic tastes and a passion for learning & homeschooling. I truly believe that anyone can do it! It may seem like a daunting undertaking, but as I put my cup of tea down and offer up a plate of fresh baked scones, I smile and reassure you that it's the most fun adventure you could possibly choose to undertake! What other profession could possibly be as rewarding as seeing your own children not only succeed, but FLOURISH!?
In this quick start guide we'll go over a few popular reasons to homeschool, what you need in order to get started - including working with the requirements of different states, an overview and review of curriculum options, a real-world case scenario, lists of helpful resources, a list of helpful reading designed to encourage the homeschooling parent, and more! This book is laid out to take notes in, jot down ideas, and carry around with you through your first year while you glean information that you want to retain - it includes not taking pages, an "Address Book" to keep track of information you are given locally or by word-of-mouth of good music teachers, or a great PE option, etc. There are even a few helpful question prompts. We hope that this guide will equip you and give you the tools to make your transition as smooth as possible without overwhelming you with too much information!
