Do You Need Some Homeschool Encouragement?

Posted in Home Education

http://littleacornscds.blogspot.com/ is giving away entry to the Heart of the Matter Online's Virtual Homeschool Conference!  So go check out her site and her great advice.

My piece of advice to those beginning the journey (from all my vast experience-- wink wink) is not to feel pressured to start everything at once.  Start with the essentials (whatever you see as essential-- Bible memory, math, or phonics, for example) and once one thing is working, tack on something else.  You don't need to have a three ring circus going from day one!

Annie-

This is great advice. I never thought of starting with just the essentials and adding the extras later. Even for those of us who are more experienced, it might be a great way to ease into the school year.

Thanks for participating!
