As children start maturing into adults, parents feel insecure



about homeschooling. Many parents then discontinue the



homeschooling process and happily hand over the reign to outside



authorities. But is this really necessary? Is the strictly



compartmentalized education provided in schools a better option?





If social concerns are worrying you, look for interest-oriented



associations, clubs and societies. These offer a lot of support



for leaders, opportunity for shared experience, and foster a sense



of belonging. Make up your own group or share this responsibility



with someone else. Home education support groups provide fantastic



opportunities to meet your child's needs. This is the best way to



develop intelligent, self-motivated, healthy and able young



people.





If the growing burden of some of the higher level Math or Science



seems to be beyond you, enlist the help of someone who knows more.



You can even barter your own services and thus save some money.



With homeschooling becoming more and more popular, support groups



will have innumerable resources that help you find the right



teacher for your child.





The underlying principle that guides homeschooling is this: any



child has the innate capacity to grow, develop and achieve its



full potential. All it needs is the right environment and all the



right answers. Be there to provide these and think twice before



you turn over this responsibility to a third party.
