Make sure that your kids do their share of chores, and you can even hire help if needed. Doing all of the work yourself can be hard. Your everyday household and motherly duties, homeschooling, and everything else you need to do will be overwhelming unless you call in help. Accept help if you get it and don't feel bad about it.
  
When home schooling, remember that you don't have to let your books and curricula define the parameters of your teachings. They are just tools, nothing more. Have the best resources, but be creative with how you use them. That really is the ultimate goal of homeschooling, after all.

You need to make sure you write down your plan. You are aware of your decision to homeschool; however, putting it in writing solidifies your resolve and makes it real. List out your goals so that you are prepared when others ask you why you have chosen to homeschool. You will feel more confident and better prepared for any questions.
  
Believe in the homeschooling process as a parent. Parents who decide to homeschool often receive tons of negative feedback from family and friends who think that homeschooling isn't a good idea. Always listen to people's thoughts, but don't feel bad or insecure about your decisions. You didn't go into this choice lightly, so believe in yourself and your decision! If you cannot take a stand for what you know in your heart is best for your child, you will have serious problems fulfilling your potential as an educator.

Find a group of families that also does homeschooling. There are more homeschooling families than you might think. You will be amazed at the number of families in your area that homeschool their kids. Use blogs and forums to help you find other families.

Being a part of a homeschooling group will give you many benefits.
  
Look online to find homeschooling forums. That will help you connect with homeschooling parents and find out more about the topic. It's always helpful to see how others are tackling the same issues in different countries and cultures. Most are more than willing to offer encouragement and advice for their fellow homeschoolers. These connections can help make the rest of the world seemed very up close and personal for your child, and this can only enhance learning.

Have your kids write in a journal on a daily basis. This journal gives you a written record of your child's educational progress and their lives as a whole. It allows them to express themselves and can give you an insight to how they are feeling. Let them dress up the journal with personal artwork and creativity. This will be something that they can keep for many years, and it can also be part of their future portfolio.
  
If you plan on homeschooling your high school student, then be aware that they will need to pass a GED exam or a standardized test such as SATs to be able to go on to college. In order to address areas of weakness, administer a sample GED test ahead of beginning any new educational units. This helps you address areas of weakness.

One of the major worries parents have about homeschooling is how to ensure their children get enough socialization time with other children. Think about contacting area schools to find out if your children will be allowed to take part in their sports teams. This will help your child across the board, in life and academics.
