(and everything)

By Julie Shepherd Knapp, copyright 2006


Well, you've made the decision to homeschool...  
and now you're wondering how to take the next step -- how to choose
the homeschool approach that's best for your family.  

The growing popularity of homeschooling has created a huge market for
homeschool products, and homeschooling parents are faced with an
ever-growing selection of homeschool methods and curriculum.  
Choosing the right approach can be very stressful on parents who are
new to homeschooling.  The most important thing to remember is -

                                 Don't Panic.

The information in this guide will help you to narrow down the choices,
and let you focus on a few approaches that seem right for your family.  
Hopefully, after looking into the possible approaches, and reading the
reviews,  you'll feel more confident that you are making an informed
decision on which methods or curricula will best meet your child's needs
and your family's educational goals.  If you'd like some help narrowing
down your choices before you begin your search -- try taking the
Homeschool Diner's
 Click-O-Matic Quiz -- it'll help you see which
approaches you might be happiest with, based on your child's learning
preferences, favorite subjects, and personality, and your concerns, too.

"Instruction begins when you, the teacher, learn from the learner;
put yourself in his place so that you may understand…
what he learns and the way he understands it."
