As lifestyle challenges go, the combination to earn his living, while at the same time educate your children at home, must be one of the most difficult. I'm assuming for the purposes of this article, you are not one of the few home educating families where parents afford it go to work and hire someone to supervise and educate their children at home can for them. For most families these days, the school offers a large piece of free child care and that is what many parents, so they do deserve to be able to make a living while raising children. So, what do you do when you do not have access to the child without hours of work per day? What can you do if you are a single parent and / or education at home very young children or are disabled? Difficult challenge indeed, but certainly not impossible, from the number of families I met who are, apparently with success and good fortune to do just that judge. There are many different ways in which familiesTo achieve this goal, although the process of changing their lifestyles often room for several years. How do they manage?
Balance of revenues and expenses.
In absolute numbers, of course, regardless of the amount of income which we provided, which is equal to or greater than our expenses. Most of us can decide to a large extent what our costs and how much income we need, but if our income falls, it follows that to reduce costs.
When Idecided that my two boys from the school take in 1998, I had already made a small business from home, but it soon became clear that I be able to continue with this. My work, although at home and part-time, lasted about 30 hours per week, some of whom spent away from home. I was not happy to spend time at work or away from my children when they were young (aged 8 and 6). So I quit my job to educate at home. I do, that has left us with only one income (Imarried at the time and my husband was working), which is insufficient to cover our bills, as they were. So we have decided to part one of the country where it was cheaper to climb to live, buy a house, much cheaper and less the look in materialist terms.
In the coming weeks and months afterwards I read many books and websites about the training at home and, equally important, as it turned out, I started something called "voluntary simplicity" know. The principlesVoluntary Simplicity is frugal consumption, ecological awareness and personal growth. But this change in the way of life and priorities, the education of my children to feel the rating is now in my quest for material goods, such as a deprivation or even in times of poverty. I realized that it germinate seeds of resentment by the threat as a result of our decision to educate at home. I must stop to feed them. I needed a change of perspective.
It was a revelation for me to findthat the path of voluntary simplicity is not poverty at all, but find a simpler, freer way of life that has given us more time together. I quickly realized that this really is an opportunity for us, a much richer, more meaningful life lead emotionally, physically and spiritually.
What are the options for reducing costs?
If we take our children out of school (or decide not to send them) and educate at home, it may appear that we have lostTime needed to earn their livelihood. So one of the things we need to do, recapturing that time in other ways. How do we do? One possibility is that our time with children as a time to spend thrift practice. At the same time we can educate our children. Here are some examples of the type of activity I want to say:
First education at home eliminates the need for the operation of the school. This reduces the number of miles traveled and therefore the cost of transportation (even if some of theseMiles will be together of families who travel for meetings and social events). Maybe you can find a way to reduce your car use on foot, by bicycle or public transport. This can be much more attractive to children and lead to many questions and discussions about what we all observed during the trip.
2nd At home longer have the whole family the opportunity to participate in daily activities to reduce costs such as recycling, composting, grow andCook his own meals, keeps the house and the garden, learning to repair and reuse items instead of throwing them away. (To learn how things work and the materials they are made of them.) You can learn to take the necessary everyday items, from sweaters, skirts and scarves, soap, flower pots, bird tables, gardening equipment and even computers. There are more savings by buying food locally and through farmers' markets, forming a food co-op had to beother local home educating families. All these are much richer and more interesting experiences, human interaction and problem-solving opportunities for a short trip to your local supermarket.
3rd If you decide to reduce costs while minimizing your expenses for "teaching material" you actually find the display of information to your children, so as to promote a holistic perspective. For example, with real money instead of plastic money, real objectsinstead of weights and measures outweigh the man-made objects from your kitchen or garden for scientific experiments, instead of the science kits. Many materials used in schools under the assumption that consumption is the norm. Some private companies to start a vested interest in helping children with their products from a spreadsheet, for example, have sponsored, the age at first dental hygiene product of one of the leading manufacturers of toothpaste, to promote "the use of fluoride. At homeParents can specify all the alternatives, which they know. For example, the pros and cons of using fluoride as a means to protect your teeth.
There are many other ideas on the Internet if you "live frugally" after. For single parents and people with small children or disabled people who can do more than some of the examples above present a greater challenge. In this case, you can educate other families participate in home and involve othersMembers of the extended family of mutual support.
Many conservation measures are healthy for us and our children, interesting educational opportunities. Maintain good health, finally, is also an exercise in cost reduction.
What are the options for the creation of income?
I find it exciting to hear the many ingenious and imaginative way for parents who choose to educate at home to earn money. During my time "stay at home mother" aswhen my boys were young, I watched the freedom with which they chose what to learn and how to spend their days. I decided to emulate them and choose a vocation that my heart was in and that I absolutely enjoyed. Also, having felt the twinge of resentment at the thought of reducing our income and our buying power at the outset, I was determined not to head down that route again. Rather than take any job that would earn us a decent income, my aim was to use the situation as an opportunity to re-train in something I loved. For me that job was life coaching. Here are some examples of what others have done. These are taken from the experiences related to me by friends and acquaintances or else by parents I?ve coached:
A married couple with 4 children who both teach musical instruments. When their children were too young to be left unsupervised at all, they took it in turns to teach. As they got older, they increased their teaching hours.
A single mum who, in return for food and accommodation for her and her two children, carries out voluntary work for a charity in several different countries.
A married couple where the mother is a journalist and technical author and the father looks after the children.
A married couple with 3 young children where both partners are business consultants and take it in turns to work. When they occasionally have to work away from home together for a day or two, the children?s grandparents provide childcare.
A single mother who once trained as a botanist and sees clients in his home.
Other jobs at home, which I do to educate parents to know, either in pairs or alone, are as follows:
Running a franchise of clothes or books in the homes of people or a club after school.
Production and sale of specialty, homemade clothing, soap and jewelry.
Provide accommodation for foreign students who come to Britain on a school trip.
Baby-sitting
Bed and breakfastaccommodation
Travelling with the children and being employed in a variety of casual or temporary jobs.
Writing
Performing (e.g. music, circus skills).
The Benefit Dilemma
Something that I?ve had considerable trouble facing since starting home education is the idea of being dependent on someone else for my income, whether it was my ex-husband or the state. The latest efforts by the Government to get single parents ?back to work? under the mistaken impression that all single parents of over 7 year olds must have nothing constructive to do with their time, has not helped to quash this social stigma.
Time again for a change in perspective, I think. By home educating each child, we are saving the state several thousand pounds per year and yet we receive nothing from the state to fund our home education. We can view social security benefits as a way in which the state (i.e. society at large) is supporting us for fulfilling this vital role. This is especially true, I believe, for those of us who home educate young or disabled children, since they require a large degree of supervision, commitment and specialised care. To expect a single, home educating parent to work at some other job too in these circumstances is beyond belief and yet this expectation is a situation we are going to have to accept and deal with until such time as the Government sees reason.
The benefit that home educated children (and therefore society as a whole as they grow up) receive from being nurtured in this way is something that the rest of society finds it hard to acknowledge and value at the moment. In the meantime, if you?re in the situation where you?re reliant on benefits, my suggestion from personal experience and from talking with others is to do everything you can to acknowledge to yourself the value of the ?unpaid work? that you do. Also remember that as your children grow up so your life and work situation will change. Being at home with your children is a wonderful opportunity to learn new skills and broaden your horizons before returning to work or re-training if that?s what you choose to do.
My experience during my 9 years of home educating so far is that home educators are a feisty bunch and not people to be too daunted by a challenge or two. Combining earning an income with home education requires above all an open and creative mind, capable of thinking outside the box. If parents don?t have those perspectives when they first start home educating, many learn to cultivate them as a result! This puts them in the perfect frame of mind to create a means of income generation at the right time, that meets their needs and that they enjoy.
