Let us know how old was your child when you first decided to homeschool. If you didn't homeschool your first child, answer for the first child that you did homeschool.

This  is a tricky question.  We definately discussed the option before he was born, but it wasn't until just recently that we decided to homeschool.  He's 3.

This is a little tricky for me (and those who have multiple aged children)

We decided to homeschool our twin sons at the beginning of 2nd grade.

But we have already decided to homeschool my 3 year old daughter
before she was 2 years old and even ready for typical school.....

So, I need 2 polls

Hi Lisa, yes these polls are tricky things to figure out how to ask the right question in the right way. Above, I opted for asking for the "answer for the first child that you did homeschool."

lol! I understand.
It's still a little tricky then for me with twins.
Even though we took them both out of public
school the same day, we had actually considered
homeschooling Jeremiah a few months earlier than
Jackson, because of some issues that kept
occurring.

I feel that Jenna, our daughter, is very lucky,
because we have worked on getting all the 'kinks'
out of this change in lifestyle, and now feel more
confidant in our decisions and choices.

I know our sons have benefitted and learned some
important things about what they have experienced
in their educational journey, but I think it would have
been easier on everyone had we already known what
direction their education would have taken before they
even were school aged.

But I suppose it's a wonderful journey either way.

For us it was when our oldest was 10 years old, although we thought about it for much longer, but afraid to jump in so to speak.
she is now 13.

Our other children, well why would we not? Which leads me to Oh Gosh ,I let my oldest go to Public School! What were we thinking?

Happy Birthday Jenna!

I recently decided to begin homeschooling Kylie, who is 3.  After I try this with her for a bit, I am going to see about pulling Robert, 6 out of school.  Diego, 10 months will be homeschooled.
