At one time or another, most budding homeschool parents experience fear, anxiety, and doubt in their abilities to successfully guide their children through their education. They worry they don’t have the training, the know-how, the resources, the patience, the intelligence, and even the energy to homeschool their kids. They think other homeschool parents must be more creative, more organized, and more knowledgeable about curriculum, education, and learning in general.
The truth is, parents are innately qualified to teach their children, regardless of their own educational accomplishments or professional experience. No one knows their children better—their interests, learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. And no one has their children’s backs like they do.
