Starting the homeschooling journey feels so much like starting the parenting journey. You read, you study, you take a break from reading, you try some ideas out, then you panic and go back to reading some more. After all, there's so much to know! So many opinions on the same subject, how can you ever decide which one is best.
It seems there are plenty of experts on how to educate your child, whether at home, private school or public school. I've read articles, books, editorials, blogs, etc. by many of them and feel just as scared and uncertain about this step as I did when I first brought my bundle of joy home. One mistake and I'll ruin everything!
Thankfully I know better than that, and now it's time to step away from all the reading, abandon any and all official labels, and just be with my son, listening to him, working with him, experiencing life with him. And if anyone is going to be the expert on him, it's going to be me.
