I remember when Pandy was first considering homeschooling. Now she’s the one doing an excellent job with it.
I remember when I was first considering homeschooling. My husband and I weren’t sure it was the right thing to do. We met with several other families first before deciding to try it for a year. Eleven years later, we’re still homeschooling. I still question myself, now and then. I guess I’ll know it was successful when they’re all in college and doing well. ;-)
A good idea would be to first meet with the homeschoolers at your church, just to find out what’s available in your local homeschool community - support groups, cooperatives, sports, etc. Our eldest child did not want to homeschool until he saw that there were plenty of other kids - nice kids - with whom he could meet and do things together. We’ve met many families who started homeschooling when their eldest was 11 or 12. It’s never too late to start.
