It is a great opportunity to engage all your students learning style. Some students
are visual learner, some are auditory learners and others are tactile learner. Think
 in terms of what you can do to make lessons interactive and engaging.  Be the greatest cheerleader when your student is studying and learning. Your words have the power to motivate students
to excel during their homeschooling experience. Here are some tips for homeschooling parents:

1.     Have a set time for your students to start and finish instruction
2.     Have a set time for your children to complete homework
3.     Go to the dollar store and fill up with supplies for projects
4.     Start on all projects early
5.     Teach your student how to study with videos on the topic
6.     Have a specific quiet place where all student's complete homework
7.     Visit sites and attend lectures where your student can learn something they are studying.
