Work-at-home-mom income opportunities?
I also want to homeschool this child, if I can afford it. Any ideas? Experiences to share?

If you are going to homeschool your child, figure out ways to serve the homeschool market. I’ve seen one number (a few years out of date) that around $650M is spent every year on homeschooling and this is growing at about 8% per year.
I think there is a lot of opportunity to provide products and services of value to homeschoolers.
I would not recommend curriculum or magazines – it seems like “everyone and their sister” is doing this.
But, I think there are other needs besides books and periodicals. Think about it? Ask around homeschool crowds. What is needed? What is missing? What makes your life the hardest? Take those needs and wants and figure out a way to provide a solution.
I am a homeschool entrepreneur and homeschooling dad, by the way.
On the subject of homeschooling, it is an excellent idea. I will be happy to communicate with you about my experiences, curricula available, etc.
The persistent misconception regarding socialization (this is also in response to xelty whose response is above mine), is just that. A misconception. Please follow this link and read what I just wrote to another homeschooled student.

Hope I helped. God bless you.
Sorry for submitting without completing my thought, I needed to get xelty’s name in order to address his comment.
I also homeschool, and I like making my own curriculum, and working with my child on what their interests are…
here is some info that may help you, if you need anything else feel free to email me

Home schooling appears to be a good idea but I would not do it. The point of going to a school is also to learn about social life and how to live in a community. If you do not provide this to your child, she/he may face problems with adapting to new environments in the future. Why would you want to isolate your child?
