Initially, be wide open with your thinking in terms of the daily, weekly, and even yearly schedule. Have some fun planning your schedule around the seasons and the different events that come up within your family and the community! Be mindful of any state and/or local requirements that mandate what a day, or year, or attendance, is in their eyes.

This will lead to you feeling as if you are always behind in your homeschool schedule and lesson plans, and that you have perhaps scheduled too much. This will create unnecessary stress for both you and the homeschooling child.
