The absolute first thing you need to do is to purchase Bill Bennett's book, The Educated Child, and read it carefully.

The best advice I can give is to be adaptable. If something doesn't work for you, trash it --or sell it--and try something different. There is not a "best" course out there, only the one that is "best" for you and works for you.

Try this. A lot of families who travel for long periods of time use this to school their kids. I hope to do this in a couple of years.

Calpernia,

Have you joined a NJ homeschool email loop or forum yet? If not, feel free to freepmail me and I will send you some links to several NJ yahoo groups. There, you will receive information and support, and then you can also meet other homeschoolers as well as keep up-to-date on legal issues.

P.S. (I am not on the internet everyday, so it may take a few days for me to reply).

I am also seeking help. I just started homeschooling my 5 year old. I am doing fine with the teaching but I am at a complete loss when it comes to keeping records. I have a program called "Homeschool Easy Records" that I don't really understand how to use. I live in CA and I want to be sure I am doing everything correctly.Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated.
