Your child is a unique one; we can never compare one child with the other. Keeping this in mind, learning ability, interest and needs too differ from child to child. So setting one pattern of teaching all the children together is sometimes not successful. Due to this reason, many parents opt out to home schooling for their children.

There are many benefits of home schooling; few of them are listed below:
• There is no need to wake up your kids at a particular hour in the morning every day, rush them to school with lots of instructions and then wait for them to come back home
• You have a total influence over your kid and hence, can positively affect his growth.
• You as a parent would know about your child’s needs and so, will do it accordingly.
• You will be able to tailor the educational syllabus as per your child’s interests and needs.
• You can pay individual attention on one particular subject, which your child finds it hard to grasp. No fixed hours are given to one particular subject, timings and teaching pattern can be decided as per your child’s abilities, interests and comfort level.
• More quality time with the family, it brings children closer to the family. It also keeps your kid away from negative forces that sometimes school surroundings have.
• Lack of competition in home schooling is beneficial as the child is self-confident.
• Every parent has his or her own moral and religious teachings; this can be easily imparted in home schooling. Parents can easily integrate their own philosophies and ideas into their child’s educational syllabus.

Sometimes parents decide to home school their child because they themselves have had a very bad experience with their own public schooling. In public schools children are segregated mainly based on the age and not as per their IQ’s, they either are put under tremendous pressure or are left out easily.

Home schooling is one of the best options for schooling as only you appreciate and understand your child. If you have time, ability and motivation to teach your child then just go ahead with his education.
