Plan out what the child needs to learn well in advance
Unlike a set number of subjects that a regular school will offer your child, when you decide to teach your child at home it is you who decide the home school curriculum. As the parent it is your responsibility to give the child a well rounded exposure to all the subjects that he would need to learn about. After all educating a child has the express purpose of preparing him for challenges that he will face in life. So pick up the basic subjects that he must learn with care.
Get subject specific help for the home school curriculum you pick
In order to do so careful thought has to be given to the home school curriculum that you choose to follow. Do you want them to be more involved with international affairs? It would be helpful for them to pick up a foreign language if they are so inclined. Naturally all homeschooling parents may not be able to teach a foreign language to their child on their own. Some may require a separate tutor or learning program online in order to do so. Make sure you do your research well before you pick who will teach your child.
Map out the methods that you will follow as you teach your child
The home school curriculum can only tell you what to teach and give you a few tips on how to go about it. In the end it is the parent who must decide what method of teaching the child is best responding to. Then the parent must go ahead with planning future class room lessons in a similar and encouraging fashion. In the end it all comes down to what you as the parent expose your child to.
