I have two homeschooled nieces. Their biggest strength is that they "like to dance". Honesty, these girls are screwed and the world is going to grind then up as soon as they have to survive on their own.
Let your kids learn from professionals. This is like you expecting to be able to be a good accountant with no training.
Let your kids learn about social pressure and stress with easy it's problems, don't let their first experiences be as an adult with no coping skills.
Parents overestimate their ability to be a good teacher.
I'll just leave you with this.
