A few weeks into my homeschool journey, I learned the importance of clearly defined homeschool rules. Taking the time to come up with a simple list, along with contracts that spell out the obligations and expectations, helps in several ways:
1: It provides a framework to build on the daily routine
2: It reduces the chance for misunderstandings
3: Outlining the rewards and consequences up front helps keep both sides motivated
Here I’ve provided links to download free printables of the contracts I created for our family. I liked knowing he understood what I expected of him, and he liked knowing I had homeschool rules to follow too!
