When it comes to teaching a child about all he needs to know in life , there is no better person than the child’s parent . You know your child better than anyone : the pace of his learning , his interests , how he learns best and so on .

The number one thing a child seeks from his parents is time spent together . Personally teaching your child at home will make him feel loved and secured , therefore improving your relationship .

The amount of good values that students learn in school depends on how good of a role model their teachers are . The same happens at home . Whatever values you hold , habits , and even temperament , your child will surely learn it from you .

The reason why making a routine out of homeschooling is better is because your child learns to make a habit out of it .

nobody can tell you exactly how to do it and what the right way is .
Highlight (yellow) - Location 247
Don’t force or set a schedule for everything your child is learning . Savor every subject or challenge that he comes by and take the time to help him through it until he completely understands . Let your child take the lead on when to introduce a new module .

Make a research first on which books are best to use and when .
