Even the biggest proponents of homeschooling know that, like anything else in life, there will be good days and there will be bad days. When things get hard, it’s helpful to have a game plan on deck to pull you through.

Of course, one problem, even if it drags on for days or more, doesn’t call for the suspension of all homeschooling efforts. The insecurity parents can harbor regarding their ability to homeschool tends to rear its head at the most unhelpful times.
