Most new homeschool parents have many questions about how to start this sometimes intimidating journey. The best answer is to start under the direction of the Lord. He will help you with setting goals, making decisions and choosing paths that are correct for your children. As one veteran mom put it, “By taking this [homeschooling] on yourself, you will be in control of what they learn, how they learn it, in what manner they are taught, who they are taught by, what kind of socializing they will have, when they learn something, the spirit in which they are taught, etc. It is, for me, a wonderful opportunity though, for the stars are the limit, and you can follow the Spirit for each one of your children and give to them what they each need personally to prepare for their adult lives and to have the most beautiful and ideal childhood in which to build their lives on.” Sister Ritter also discusses options and decisions that have worked for other families that you can take to the Lord.
