What You Wish You Had Known Your First Year of Homeschooling.




Ok here is what I wish I had known:

1. Its ok to do this!
2. My children don't need to be with other children all the time.
3. I can switch curriculum ANY time it isn't working.
4. I can read aloud to the children ALL DAY long if I want too.
5. Its OK to take a day off.
6. I don't have to explain our reasons for homeschooling to total strangers at the park.
7. Our children are going to be learning differently than public schooled kids and that is ok.
8. Ten years goes by faster than you realize.
9. Keeping my children's hearts is a full time job.
10. How passionate I would become about homeschooling.
11. How much fun we would have.
12. How much I like not conforming.


Ok that is a quick list because I know if I sat here longer I could think of a dozen more but I have to put my two little ones to bed!

One of your reasons made me laugh -- your children don't have to be around children all day. With six, aren't they?? :-)

I know what you mean, of course. And you are right. Being around siblings all day is considered unnatural or something.

Thanks for your comments. You have a lovely blog with all your adorable children!
