The First Step: Where To Start?

"With the abundant amount of information available on homeschooling today you could spend months or even years thinking about and discussing just where you and your family should begin. Now that [you know] just how flexible homeschooling can be, you can see that exactly where you begin isn't all that crucial. The most important things is that you begin!

Approach homeschooling now in whatever manner you feel most comfortable. Spend money and gather resources only to the extent that your budget isn't strained. Make changes in your home to the degree that your beduget isn't strained. Make changes in your home to the degree that space or desire allows. Call in as much or as little outside assistance as you wish. Involve your spouse to whatever point time and energy currently allow. Any of these aspects of homeschooling can be fine-tuned as you grown more comfortable with your journey, as you gain experience, and as you get better and better at observing your child's interests and learning style.

It's the journey that counts. And like all other journeys, this one, to, starts with the first step."
