Keep up the good work! I taught my 2 children at home and when it came time for them to go to University, the Universities were thrilled to accept them.

We did testing every couple of years, but I wasn't testing my children as much as I was testing myself. Were there areas where we needed to focus on more? I always had a little doubt in the back of my mind, are we learning enough? Did I miss something? We hired a tutor a couple of times, once for Algebra and twice for High School writing skills. I wanted to ensure they had the skills necessary when they did go off to University. I did not need to worry. My children graduated with honors and both have a love of learning that continues with them today, and yes, they both have far exceeded me academically.

The idea that always seems to come up " How will they be socialized?" We had so many extra curricular events that we participated in. Just to name a few: pottery, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, piano, choir, soccer, chess club, basket weaving, many events thru 4-H and church activities. My daughter wanted to play tennis, so she started a tennis club at the park. We helped at the summer kids program at the local library. There are a-lot of learning and volunteering opportunities out there if you look for them.

Enjoy the time with your children! Best wishes :)
