Help for New Homeschoolers

Part of beginning your homeschool journey is taking time to educate yourself and not just focusing on the needs of your children.

Through the years, I have helped hundreds of new homeschoolers not only begin their journey, but helped them to successfully stay on the path.

One of the reasons that my program is very different from just a book of the experiences of one or two homeschool moms is that I have held workshops in person mentoring new bee homeschoolers.

You not only receive my twenty plus years of experience, but you receive my experience while helping other new homeschoolers. I know what you need.

By mentoring new homeschoolers I know that one of the reasons they stick with the homeschooling lifestyle is that they took time in the beginning to read all they could about homeschooling.

Just remember too that in the homeschooling world, the concept of how best to teach a child can change very little through the years and unlike other areas if life where the most recent is the ‘best’, homeschooling is not like that.

So some resources here may be older, but they are gems in the homeschool world and worthy of your read because once a method successfully works for thousands of homeschoolers, you want to follow it too.

You will want to be sure that you are reading plenty of these homeschool resources as you begin your homeschool journey. Some of these resources are free, others not.

However, most all of them I’ve read and find super helpful, encouraging, and enlightening to keep you homeschooling.
