Let’s not forget YOU in all this – you’ll need a little something after an hour of homeschooling, maybe even all of these after a full day of it!

Wherever you are and whatever your circumstances, just remember this…You are not a trained teacher. You have already been their primary source of education since they stepped into this world and you have done a great job so far. You can only do what you can do. This won’t last forever. They will thank you one day. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
