Can homeschooling moms own a successful home business and homeschool effectively? Homeschooling is becoming a hot trend for a lot of moms who have a home business. It is not only effective way to educate your kids but it is time efficient and productive for children. For women who have a home business of any kind, homeschooling is the best way to go. It is quite possible to manage homeschooling your kids and making money online and let me tell why.

I want to explain why I recommend moms who have a home business to homeschool their kids. Not every mom will have endurance to do and not every one will agree with what I think on this matter.

When I decided to make money online and I commited myself to becoming an enterpreneur, I had to make a decision about my kids. My kids are my main reason why I do online business and knowing how busy I was homeschooling was best option. You would think, “Tatyana is nuts with her ideas” But before you do that, let me tell what I think.
If my kids were in a traditional school enviroment they would be in school mostly of the time. Yes good for me but not for them. They would be exhaused, grouchy, sleepy or worst on sugar rush! I would still have to do homework with them and spend hours explaining what teacher was supposed to do. It will leave me brain fried and my 6 year old will not be a happy camper.

Their well being is a big factor. With my schedule I can homeschool my son in the morning or afternoon and even spread it out. It is not a chore for him but joy. My school does not always involve sitting at the desk and spelling words. Life is a big fun game. We do cooking together, baking, cleaning, and even do shopping. He learns things from me and we build trust and love for each other. We learn about how to connect with each other from day one and not when he turns 14

If I have to go on a business trip my husband homeschools him and it is so easy and so flexibile. As you can see there are few points that I want to make

1. Time

2. Building Relationship

3. Fun

That is the beauty of homeschooling for work at home moms. It is doable. Everyone can do it if they really want it. Want and desire are the keys to successful homeschooling for moms who want to make money from home.

My son has the appreciation for what I do. I work at home. I am a bread provider for the family as well as my husband. He knows my time. He knows my schedule and I respect our time together when we do projects and do homework.

I think managing myself is the imporant factor why I can do homeschoolig, run a home business, be a mom and a wife. It is simple if you make it simple. I do not get my son involved in too many things as sports, music and arts! . I do not want to overwhelm him with all activities. Overloading kids with too much to do will never leave time for yourself and family.

Here are 10 tips for homeschooling moms who want to work from home but do not have enough confidence if they can do it:

1. Plan your week activities ahead of time

2. Every morning spend time eating or cooking breakfast together with your kids. It builds an amazing bond with your children.

3. Start your school program with simple reviews and spend about 45 minutes per each session. If you are homeschooling a preschool age children, two to three hours or school with activities is plenty.

4. Try to be done with school before lunch or shortly after. I do my best to finish all the school work before 1.30PM.

5. Afternoon is the time when I am getting back to my clients and customers. My son is involved in his quite activities as drawing, painting, or working with his lego sets.

6. When evening comes, make sure you spend at least an hour with your spouse and kids. Spring is around the corner, so make sure to get out outside for at least 45 minutes without phone interruption.

7. Evening hours could be from 7.30-8.30 PM. That is what I do every day when I have to get back to my prospects and training team members

8. If you have a growing team in your existing business, it is a great idea to host a team call once a week and provide training that way you do not feel you are babysitting every single member of your team.

9. If you work at home and have a busy schedule with your homeschooling, do not be afraid to let everyone know what you do and your time schedule.

10. Have fun! There is no point to homeschool and have a business if you do not enjoy it! Ask for help from others in your family or business associates from time to time.

Have fun homeschooling and making bug bucks!

You deserve it!

The awesome thing about homeschooling and working from home is the flexibility it provides in both situations.

After many years of self-employment and homeschooling, I decided to write a book that lays out precise strategies about how to do both and enjoy it. I blogged a few business-building strategies for both parents' and teens/kids businesses alike on http://homeschool-wealth.blogspot.com.

Taking a glimpse at proven strategies for both your home school and home business can allow you to see all sorts of possibilities, which the timing of it can be very encouraging.

You make a good point about including kids in the business, it makes for great lessons in entrepreneurship, work ethic, economics, etc. These items are really missing in our school systems today. My 11 year old son is already becoming a part of my work at home ventures and it has been a great experience for him. He is excited about what he is learning.

What I have learned in our homeschooling experience is two things. The things are scheduling and expectations. These two concepts are what makes everything work. Scheduling is a measurement tool to makes sure that everyone is on track and that you are not trying to fit too much in or overlap activities. The small time it takes for you to create a schedule saves you tons of time in frustration and wasted energy. You are happier and your kids are happier. We use white boards to make it fun for everyone to help plan things out weekly.

If everyone understands the expectations, again, you avoid frustration and chaos. My four year old understands my work hours because there is playtime and activities scheduled in there for her ( I break from working to go to the park, play, or do an activity with both kids). When I first started, I worked, worked worked and she was always frustrated. Now that she knows when I work and when we will play she doesn't mind doing a craft, or working with her learning activities while I do what I have to do. She expects to have my attention-when it is time for that. I treat it like an appointment on my schedule. This lets them know that they are just as important as your business. Yes we have, our bumps in the road, but nothing like when we first started.

So that is my two cents :)

I don't think it is a question...i think that if you are home schooling you SHOULD own a home business and let your kids help and do it as part of their schooling so they learn how to run a business. My parents had a printing business in our home and iit has helped me tremendously through life.

Yes, it can be done. I do it and do it well.

I won't lie though: it can be a back-breaker! Maybe it's just the tired in me right now...lol. You have to really schedule and get your child to stay on task. My son helps me with my business and he started trying his hand at his own business. I love that I am teaching him to own his own destiny.

hello everyone.

I have been homeschooling since January of this year. My daughter has ADD and MS or the school system here doesn't seem to recognize this as a 504 plan in her educational career. by the 7th grade, I was flabbergasted by the calls I received from teachers stating they 'gave' her increased grades or hearing my daughter state how the classrooms were so loud and so much distractions or the teachers eating in classrooms and how she stood up in math class answered the teachers question correctly, the response from the teacher, "I didn't think you knew anything." There were other horrid things going on in this middle school during her 6th grade year.

Girls with ADD are quite, try to please to fit in no matter what. The teachers always stated she was well behaved but as I tried to get her special needs recognized and attended to I received nothing. So in the 2nd half of her 7th grade year, I could not let this school district send my daughter out into the world ill-equipped to handle herself in every endeavor a successful college education could put before her. I pulled her out and began un-schooling her. She has been rebellious of my decision, as she was accustomed to traditional schooling all these years.

I have 24-hour child care business, www.twlsnc24hr.com , she sees and helps me with this sometimes. She is 13 years old and knows she doesn't want to have children until her late 20s. She seeing the personalities of the children develop and how demanding these various little ones can be. She sees and is involved with my varied teachings of the little ones, which involves them understanding they will enter the community one day and play a substantial part in it. So how on God's green earth could I let my daughter stay in a system that didn't care about their future outcome on the community, the world; I couldn't do that.

We are able to go places and at times the traditional school wouldn't allow. She is still rebellious in that she doesn't have the 'friends' she only saw @ school. I have to find other teens that are homeschooled in my area of Jackson.

I ask for hints, helps to become a better homeschooling parent. Thank you all in advance for any/all assistance you can give.

take care
