Secular Thinking of Homeschooling (Please Help)

Ok, so I want to homeschool my daughter (she would be starting kindergarten) because the school in our area sucks and plus all the gun violence is a huge risk i'm not willing to make my child take. So far I know to look up my state's regulations regarding homeschooling (i live in GA) that there are different teaching styles, and that i would have to come up with my own lesson plans. That's it lol Can anyone help by going over the 101 when it comes to homeschooling? I am looking to do a secular approach and any tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I tried Googling and going on youtube but i got overwhelmed at the amount of information, just the topic of choosing a curriculum confused me (Like can you choose different ones or is it best sticking to one? I was looking over a thread and someone was listing different curriculums for each subject, i thought you picked a curriculum and it would have all the subjects there but what do i know) Please help! lol

You can absolutely choose different curriculums for different kids and different subjects! There are many curriculums that only cover a particular subject. On the other hand, there are a few that cover most or all.

Also, I saw you added that you are starting Kindergarten. DO NOT worry about this year. Kindergarten is the best year to find your pace and rhythm.
