I think that many homeschooling parents think that in order to successfully homeschool their children, that they will need to know everything themselves. This is not true! This misconception simply leads to unnecessary stress. In this episode, I talk about why it is vitally important that you let go of this false perception and establish from the onset the fact that sometimes during the homeschool process it will be a joint-learning process, where the teacher and the student are learning together. There are great resources that can help you when you get struck and need that extra help to explain a topic that you yourself might not be strong in. 

These two resources have been invaluable in our home:

https://mathantics.com/ great site for explaining math concepts in a fun easy understood manner

https://www.khanacademy.org/ is a great site for explaining any subject that you might need additional help with, plus it works as a full curriculum program as well.

It is vitally important to set the right tone, especially if you intend to make homeschooling a long term commitment for your family. This means that your children should know that there is a separation between playtime and school time. This does not mean that there cannot be an element of playfulness surrounding the homeschool experience, but what it does mean is that from the very beginning you want to send the message to your children that there is a time and place for everything and that playtime is playtime and school time is school time.
