Transitioning to homeschool

Working together as a family

Homeschooling from the very beginning

Drawing on strengths and teaching skills that you lack

So you decided to remove your children from their brick-and-morter schools. Now what? How you begin your adventure together sets the tone for the next few months, at least. Like any new habit, starting your homeschool takes a few weeks to get into the flow.

Starting your homeschool journey with older children is a bit different than jumping into the construction-and-rounded-scissors world of the preschooler or kindergartener. The young ones exude excitement. They’re ready to go, ready to learn, ready to explore. Their older siblings — not so much. This chapter gives you suggestions for those starting weeks and months, whether you are beginning with young kids who’ve never been to school or you’re pulling older and more jaded teenagers from their classes to continue their education at home.
