Give yourself space to deal with your emotions away from criticism, challenge your own inner critic. If you need to stray away from the standard education format, this will be a necessary step eventually.
Step #2
Decide how you want to educate your child. Formal lessons, or life experiences? somewhere in between? a little bit of this and that? how on earth do we decide or label our inventiveness?
Step #3
Find out what the state/province's laws and regulations are about homeschooling. Meld your ideas and these rules together.
Preliminary Checklist:
- review your child's latest records from the school
- review your child's latest records from any therapists or specialists
- immediately begin contacting those services to see what can be done for homeschooling (in most cases this is treated as a separate scenario altogether).
- make sure you have informed the school and the school board
- inform any other services that are involved, and don't be afraid to be loud about why.
- prepare some school materials to start experimenting with lesson ideas and your child's skill set
Now Smile :)
