1. What works for one family or child, may not work for
another. If a curriculum or style of
teaching is working, try another one.
There are so many choices out there, don't feel like you have to do what
'everyone else' is doing.
2. Don't compare yourself.
Your family is not your neighbor's family. Nor should it be. Let you and your children be yourselves. Not everyone needs goats, chickens, and five
acres to be successful at homeschooling.
3. Get support (even if it's just online), don't try to do
it all by yourself. Make sure both
parents stay involved.
4. Let go! Take a
break! Change things up when they need
it, or just take some time off if you're experiencing burnout.
5. Have fun! If you're not having fun, you're not doing it
right. This is not to say that there
won't be days where you have to push your kids to get an assignment done. But if homeschooling as a whole is stressful
and painful - then change how you're doing it.
