HomeschoolDads.com Completes A Successful First Year

Are you a dad who is brand new at Homeschooling? Are you frustrated and need help? Homeschooldads.com finds it a priviledge to help you get support and the information you need.

(PRWEB) April 24, 2006 -- While homeschooling has been around for many years, the custom has always been the mother staying at home and becoming the teacher. But in recent years with the changing economy, more dads have become the stay-at-home parent. When it came time to educate their children the fathers assumed the role of Homeschooling Dads. Most of the time they would be the only male figure among the moms attending the meetings and field trips. This also made it difficult at times to seek out the help of other parent educators because of the gender differences and how issues are delt with. Trying to seek out help on the internet was also fustrating because they still referred to the Homeschool Moms.

However since March of 2005, one homeschool dad took it upon himself to seek out other dads in the same delima by creating the HomschoolDads.com website. Now homeschooling fathers across the nation have had a new resource and the ability to connect with other fathers who can relate to their situation. It started out slow, but as more and more stay-at-home dads looked for help in homeschooling their kids it began growing.

In just its first year, HomeschoolDads.com unites a growing number of stay-at-home dads who homeschool their children while the mother works outside the home. The HomeschoolDads.com website has had over 10,000 visitors with more than 600 posts within the message boards by dads seeking help or giving advise to others.

"Frequently I find myself participating in an exchange that couldn't possibly take place within the local groups," says one homeschool dad. "I then realize that it's because the other forum members are in the same very unique position that I am in."

The goal of HomeschoolDads.com is to bring attention to the growing number of fathers who take an active role in their childs education and to encourage other fathers to either participate full-time in home educating their children or to participate part-time by assistting the homeschool mom.
