One way to start Home Schooling with very little stress is to cover as many subjects using workbooks ……even if this is not how you really want to do homeschooling.
Wait…keep reading…hear me out.
Little by little replace each workbook with a curriculum you would like to try. If that curriculum doesn’t work, go back to the workbook. If it does work. Great! Throw out the workbook. Better yet, pass it on to someone else. Get comfy with your new program and then evaluate the next subject. There’s no hurry.
This works, because you will be covering all the subjects and your stress will remain low. Your child will have some predictability. And you will be able to try new programs out. Workbooks are easy to start out with. They are neat and tidy and simple.
Staples, Costco and Walmart have plenty of workbooks to choose from. Add in some reading and you can have a complete curriculum for very little out of pocket expense.
Sometimes just anticipating and trying to figure out what the first day will be like, is the scary part. Workbooks will lessen that fear for you. You can homeschool your children!
