Welcome to Homeschool Life Situations

At homeschool life situations you will find practical tips and encouragement for teaching when life is tough.

What are some Difficult Situations?

Living on One Income

In today economy it can be hard living on one income. Where will you find the money? There are ways to cut homeschooling cost. In the Budget section I will show you where you can obtain cheap curriculum and free resources.

Getting Everything Done

If you are like me sometimes it is hard to know what to do. Do I do the laundry or correct the math test? Do I take the children on a field trip or stay home and clean house. Planning can help us determine what is important.

Sometimes we don't teach at home because of the time we think that it takes time. Homeschooling should only take a couple of hours when you write a daily schedule.

It is also important to organize. When you have a place for everything and everything is in its place you can save time.

Get your children involved in chores. You should not be responsible for washing the dishes, feeding the pet, sweeping the floor, and teaching school. Let your children help with the chores. They need to have some responsibility.

Look in Day to Day Tips for more ideas about planning your day.

Having a Child with Special Needs

With encouragement and practical tips it is possible to educate children who have special needs at home.

Through the years I have learned techniques that would be helpful in teaching children who struggle with learning.

There are several teaching methods. What is the best method for your situation? Take my questionnaire to help you decide.

Even if your children do not struggle with learning I think that you will find some fun activities and some practical tips for teaching;

• Math
• Language arts
• Science
• History

Preschoolers

Children are a blessing. But we sometimes wonder what we should be teaching these young children. We also wonder how we can teach our older children when we have preschoolers in the house.

My preschool section has fun educational activities. There are also some quiet activities that can be done by your young child while you teach your older children.

High School

Some parents worry about teaching high school. Sometimes parents worry that teaching high school math or science will be too difficult. Other times they worry about writing transcripts and getting into college. As I go through this time of teaching high school I hope to give you some insights.

Encouragement

I also want to give you some encouragement. In Homeschool Articles you will find miscellaneous information about overcoming burn-out, co-ops, socialization, and other items of interest.

If you are a Christian I want to encourage you to pass your faith onto your children. Christian Based has articles on different curriculum and how to pass on your faith.
