Procrastination Busters

One challenge many people face is procrastination. We seem to avoid the things that make us a little uncomfortable sometimes to the point of actually never doing the dreaded task. As a homeschooler, I have found this has been a consistent problem with math...day after day, year after year. So today I'm looking for procrastination busters, although the best success I had was the sign I made that said, NO Whining, NO Complaining, Just Do IT! It seemed to help me focus and actually get some things done. Oh and it helped the kids too...since I didn't whine or nag at them to do their work. I just pointed at the sign. lol

Facing the Challenges of Homeschooling

Homeschooling is not always easy. You may have jumped into homeschooling not realizing the effort and commitments necessary to educate your child. In addition, what if your child learns differently than you expect and/or needs you to teach differently. These are just a few of the challenges and things to consider when choosing to homeschool.

An article by Diane Craft on HSLDA on Homeschooling a Struggling Learner provides information on the characteristics of left and right brain learning styles and offers teaching strategies to help improve your educational efforts.

Happy homeschooling!
