There are so many resources available for homeschoolers, both on the internet and off! If you are new to homeschooling, please take a few minutes to relax and think about all of the opportunities for learning that surround us every day. You don't have to spend a fortune if you don't want to.

*Who do you call at 1:30 in the afternoon when you are ready to pull your hair out because neither you nor your beautiful child can figure out new math?

*Who do you call at 10:00 in the morning when you just can't look at another book and want desperately to have some adult conversation?

*Who do you call when it's time to dissect anything and your stomach is too squeamish to even think about it?

*Who do you call when you need a cheerleader, a friend, a confidant, or just someone who understands?

If you are lucky, you can call on your family and close friends. Unfortunately, most homeschooling families don't have that luxury as they are not supported by their family and friends. Thankfully, as homeschooling becomes more mainstream, that is becoming less prevalant.

We encourage you to find a homeschool support group, or two..or three. Find at least one that you can do things with locally. As wonderful as the homeschooling lifestyle is, there will be those days in which you wonder why in the world you ever thought you could do this. It is on those days that you will need your support group the most. Pick up the phone and call someone (or sit down to the computer and email someone). A support group is one of the most important homeschooling resources you can find.
