Homeschooling children

Hi folks!
Applemama here, and I've been thinking! Why would any of you care about what I have to say about homeschooling when I don't have a degree. I looked at other homeschooling websites and blogs and I'm definitely one of the only ones that have anyone read them that has no degree. Let me put your mind at ease.

I have been homeschooling my children for the last 8 years and never would choose to do anything else. I have many resources in friends and acquaintances for each stage of the homeschooling requirements. My children have a curriculum we follow with lots of added subjects that are above and beyond what most homeschooled children participate in.

I am an average mom with the calling on my life to school my children. It is most definitely a venture I do not take lightly. I have investigated all the requirements for our state and know some about a couple of the other states as well. But have the ability to find out more.

My mission has been to help other mothers and fathers in their desires to homeschool their children. It is not an easy task I must warn you. But it is one that you will come to love. The bond that is created with your child is one that will never be broken. It is not for the faint of heart. There will be trials and sometimes you'll wonder if another option is possible. But assuredly it is rewarding.

To know that you have helped your children reach the highest goal for their little lives. To be there for the first words read from a book to you. The brightness in their eyes when your child realizes they can read or they can do that math problem is amazing. To see the ways they find out they can use what they've learned in everyday life. Most homeschool curriculums have a Science that provides you with all the essentials to do a project every week. From being Thomas Edison for a day to learning what causes sickness and how the human body works. My children love Science for that very reason. The projects.

We use Sonlight Curriculum. The amount of literature that is lesson based is amazing. I never knew about half the books we have read. To be able to read about the adventures of people in the time frame were learning about in History. Or to read about the stories of people right in the culture we are learning has really opened up understanding to the material like you wouldn't imagine.

Read along with me. Ask away at your questions. That is how this works. Being able to know how to find the homeschool requirements for your state is important. Knowing what homeschool curriculum is appropriate for your children and your lifestyle is a must. There is a ton to choose from. Searching around on the web for a law or a curriculum isn't fun when you don't really know what you're looking for. There are many co-ops in your areas to choose from too. More people homeschool than you think.

Ask and you shall receive.
Blessings
