Commit your work to the LORD, and then your plans will succeed.
Homeschooling requires commitment that will keep you steady during the course. There will be days when you may feel like throwing in the towel. Your children may be uncooperative and stretch your patience beyond what you may think is tolerable. Just remember why you chose to homeschool and try to always keep mentally focused on the end results, the finish line. Your commitment will keep your feet on the path, it will keep you focused. Believe me, when all is said and done you will look back and say that it was worth it all. Take a lot of deep breaths, frequent breaks, and remember the special relationship you share with your children by being their parent and their teacher. Savor this time with them. Don't be in a rush or push so hard that you take the adventure and joy out of homeschooling for them and for yourself. There will be times when you will have to be pliable, able to bend a little in order to maintain their enthusiasm. Always remember as their parent you are the most qualified because of your love for them. Trust that love to guide you in dealing with them when they may not be very loving.
