It also helps to consider your child's learning style, the number of children you are homeschooling, and your own frustration level. Also, I considered how kinesthetic my daughters are. They need to touch, feel, and experience. In short, anyone can homeschool. We don't all wear blue and bake our own bread.
Every parent is different and every child is different.
Wonderfully, you can find a curriculum for almost every need and style. You can easily get confused when you hear about the many different methods of homeschooling. One person says that formal education is anathema and that children learn best from everyday life experiences. Someone else says that students should do seatwork for three hours a day, six days a week. You hear that grammar isn't necessary if the child reads widely.
