Many people have no clue how to determine if their child is really doing well while homeschooling. The abundance of tests, professionals, tutors and other types of people and products tends to typically undermine the results that most parents feel that they are getting. However, it is very important that you not let these things get to you. If you are overly concerned with how things are going, there is very little that you can do to avoid feeling as if your child is not making enough progress, yet there is no reason to run and sign them up for numerous tutors or special classes either.

For the average child, getting along well you should typically find a great range of skills. For example a child that is thriving at homeschooling might be able to do 5^th grade math, science on a 3^rd grade level but only be able to handle spelling at a 1^st grade level. This is something that occurs quite often, and is simply the result of some subjects being much more interesting to children.

As long as you notice that your child is making progress in areas and that they are at least within a couple of grade levels of where they should be, there is no need to worry. Every child learns at different speeds and while some children excel at certain subjects, others will fall behind in them. If you are trying to really be sure that your child is successful, you should just watch for signs that they really get and understand what is going on around them in order to find the answers that they need.
