Thinking about home-schooling your children? (Asheville Citizen-Times)

Posted: 01 Mar 2010 05:59 AM PST

My friend Sarah blogs about children's literature, baking, and homeschooling her two young daughters (ages 6 and 2) at In Need of Chocolate. Join me in learning more about helping children learn at home through books and everyday activities.

JEAN: Can you tell us about your decision to homeschool your daughters? Is it something you always knew you wanted to do or is it a decision you came to over time?

SARAH: I met several families who homeschooled when I was in college, and I became interested in homeschooling then. Over the next ten years, I read more about it and questioned any homeschoolers I met. The more I learned, the more I thought I would homeschool my own children eventually. But during my older daughter's toddler and preschool years, I wasn't sure I could do it. Our choice of a part time kindergarten with two homeschool days each week gave me confidence, and now I'm very glad that we're homeschooling full time.
