Thinking about homeschooling, but not sure if you’ll cope? Wondering how other homeschooling parents organise their day and how to get started?

- what a usual school day looks like, and how it changes as the kids grow older
- homeschooling options
- private or government schools and Home Education Units
- how to choose curriculums, what they have used, and good resources for school books
- what to do when the kids won’t listen or are having a bad day
- transitioning from school to homeschooling (‘de-schooling’)
- preparing your homeschooled children for university
- teaching kids a love of learning
- the importance of relationship building for a successful homeschool journey
