Since we have been homeschooling since 2010 it’s sometimes hard to think about telling others how to start homeschooling. I have recently remembered some words of wisdom when someone asks in a Facebook group about what they need to do to start homeschooling because they are clueless and a little fearful. Usually a family has decided to homeschool, often due to bullying or lack of good educational environment, and there’s not been a lot of time to research. The parent feels that homeschooling would be the best choice for their child and desperately wants some help. I realized that I have some ideas of things that a new homeschool parent might want to consider when homeschooling is on the horizon.
These ideas were copied from an answer I had given to one such parent and then expanded on in order to provide more ideas and guidance. Sometimes a family just needs something different and homescholling will fit the bill for a time whether a semester, year or a lifetime!

I am going to share how I go about finding Summer Camps and activities as well as how I decide what to register my children for.
