Community Questionpinterest

Community Question is a new category here at PW Homeschooling. Inspired by readers bold enough to email us with very challenging questions we could not adequately answer, we felt confident this would be a perfect venue for these type of questions. Thank you in advance for graciously sharing your knowledge and personal experiences.

The following question is from Sarah B.

“I am planning to home school my son who is currently 15 months old. I am wondering what is the average age that others have begun home schooling? I am also looking for some guidance as to curriculums used. I would like to get a jump start on my research and preparations so that I am fully capable of taking his schooling on when my child is old enough to start his education. Both my husband and I work full time, and at this point will be working full time while doing the home schooling, so I am taking advantage of the extra year or so we have to research the appropriate curriculum and make sure we don’t start too soon or too late.”

Sarah needs your advice. Share your experience. What age were your children when you began homeschooling? Did you use a curriculum? If so, what? With the great diversity of homeschooling families here we should have a wealth of information to offer!
