How to Home School A Teen
You want to home school your teen but are unsure. The decision although a tough one, has been made you will need help. It is not as scary as it sounds. I will try to ease your fears. I have 2 teens that I have been schooling along with 3 younger children, so I am getting lots of practice.
If you have just begun to home school you may fear that you are not qualified to teach your teen, but that is not true. You are qualified and have actually been homeschooling your child without knowing it. Have you ever helped your teen with their homework? Do you ever read with your teen? Discuss current events? Take trips to museums, zoo, and parks, if you have, then you have been homeschooling your child.
It is normal to fear the unknown path of homeschooling but it is not a difficult path. The most important asset to obtain in helping your teen is patience. When I first began schooling, I asked a lot of questions of experienced homeschooling parents. Those are the parents I learned from and now I am in that position to help you. It is possible to home school your teen, be successful, and have fun all at the same time.
As a homeschooler you have the freedom to teach the subjects you desire and can set your own schedule as well. You can incorporate schooling into your daily activities and the teen will learn daily lessons that they would normally not learn in a traditional school environment. The best part is that there will not be needless homework assignments and late nights of working on projects. The assignments and projects will now be done during the day leaving your evenings available to enjoy your family.
