8. Lean on other homeschooling households

Leaning on other homeschool households for support can be an invaluable part of your homeschooling journey. Connecting with others who are going through similar experiences can provide a sense of community, reassurance, and shared resources.

“I find it quite necessary to find a cohort, co-op, or club for both you and your child to thrive in when homeschooling,” states Elizabeth Estelle, blogger at Homeschool Christian Mom. “You will all need friends and the support is amazing. These ladies have become some of my lifelong besties.”

Estelle also recommends finding a local group that offers homeschool participation days on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, along with opportunities to join sports, theater, and band programs.

Whether it’s swapping lesson ideas, attending group activities, or simply exchanging advice, these relationships can help reduce the feeling of isolation that can sometimes come with homeschooling.
