I had my youngest child at 43 (he was a surprise), so I can definitely relate. :-)   Almost everyone feels nervous when they first start homeschooling.  It’s normal.  Just take it one day at a time, research curriculum, and get feedback from your daughter.  Make sure you understand—and follow—the homeschool laws in your state.

One of the best things about homeschooling is that you can customize your daughter’s education based on her natural interests and talents.  See if there are any homeschool support groups in your area.  Support groups are a great way to meet other homeschooling families, and get encouragement along the way.  Good luck to you!

She will be 2yrs old on March 21, 2009. I dropped out of school in the 8th grade but, in my 20's finally got my GED and later, in my late 20's, earned a Para-Medic's Degree, and was hired on the City of Hialeah (FL) Fire Dept. I want my daughter to ENJOY getting the best education I wish I could have had but I'm scared to death by the enormity of the undertaking I'm considering!
