A mom wrote to me asking where to start. As the parent of an 8th and 10th grader, she was feeling completely incompetent and needed a quick dose of you-can-do-it reality. For beginners, I recommend the video Preparing to Homeschool High School . It covers all the basics of how to homeschool high school, from planning courses, to giving tests. My goal is to remove the fear of homeschooling high school, so that you can listen to your heart and NOT your fear when deciding if you can do it. The Preparing to Homeschool High School video is about three hours long, so it’s a lot like a seminar to get you up to speed quickly. In fact, I’m actually giving a seminar in Vancouver Washington in February, with the exact same content! If you are interested in attending the seminar in Vancouver, they have opened it up to the public. The cost for the event is $40-$43. For more information, click on this link. I love doing seminars because I can answer specific questions for people.
If you feel insecure, then sometimes personal support is really the key. When you buy the book “The Easy Truth About Homeschool Transcripts” you get a free month of my Gold Care Club Membership site. Try the membership for a month free, and see if that is the kind of personal support that will help. Gold Care Club members have access to extended free private consultations every Wednesday. You can call and talk for up to 20 minutes each week. Some parents call each week so I can talk them through their transcript, or their college admissions. Others call to discuss courses to teach, or fears and frustrations. Members also get priority email support. You can email me a questions and get a long, meaty answer. Or you could email me a document (a transcript, course descriptions, or high school plan) and we can discuss it together on the phone. The Gold Care Club membership is a great way to get the parent-to-parent support that can sometimes be hard to find.
I do provide support for everyone for free, as well. I have the free monthly newsletter (which will come out on January 1st), free weekly 10 minute consultations, free daily blog support for your questions, free mini-course on “The 5 Biggest Mistakes Parents Make When Homeschooling High School“ free articles for your support group newsletter, “Dig Deeper” websites with in depth discussions on specific issues like Gifted Education or Record Keeping. You can always search this blog looking for the topic you need help with.
I apologize if I sound like a commercial, but I know that some folks really do just want to know where to start, in order to get the help they need.
Nearly 1000 of you have subscribed to our free mini-course, “The 5 Biggest Mistakes Parents Make When Homeschooling High School.” If it has blessed you, we would really appreciate it if you could send the link above to your yahoo group, homeschool group or forum to let others know there is help available for high school. Thank you!
