When I first started homeschooling ten years ago, I quickly learned to depend upon the wisdom of experienced homeschooling moms.

Here are the top ten things I have learned in my first ten years.<\/p>\n

10. Invest in less curriculum and more educational toys.<\/p>\n

9. Turn off the TV, the Internet, and all other electronic devices.<\/p>\n

8. Don’t rush your children to read by a certain age.<\/p>\n

6. Math does matter.<\/p>\n

4. A day off will not harm your children’s education forever, and it might just be the one thing the whole family needs.<\/p>\n
