How to Adjust to Newly Homeschooling a Child

How parents can adjust to their role as teacher once they’ve decided to home school their children.

1. Sign your child up for an individual class (either in school, online or at a community center).
2. Arrange for your child to sit in on college lectures.
3. Attend a speech or other community event.
4. Attend a tour guided by an expert.
5. Consult an author or other type of expert for tips, or even invite them to your home to speak with your child.
6. Canvas other home schoolers and see if there are lessons that you could ‘pool’: you teach several children in your area of expertise and your children attend ‘classes’ at another home schooler’s place for any topic that you need help with.
