Homeschooling Links from the Story Making Mother
Why we chose certain
links… Some
sites helped me to overcome the fear that I wasn’t good enough to
homeschool. I learned it's more about who you love--God and your children--than about being good. Great advice…in
brief… Commit
yourself to seeing at least the first half year through. Be
realistic—even if Junior’s a genius, don’t push him beyond
what is fair. Why did we leave out sites? The
websites I have listed here will get you wondering, thinking and planning.
You can find the big ones, but these are get you started. Some of us lack
patience, support, and
money. These sites can help. How to make it work… In
every category of struggle, I have lived the drama--two or three at a time.
Keep track of these links--even if you don’t need them now. Need further help? As
always, email
me at THE SITES TO SEE... AO-Homeschool
