   I homeschool a 15 year old, however we started 5 years ago.
   Just what sort of difficulties are you having.
   I stress to my daughter that it is her education and HER
   future.  I let her have some input as to what she would
   like to study, along with the required subjects. We also
   try to relax and enjoy the experience. We go on field trips,
   or maybe pack a lunch and go to the park and do school, or
   do history over breakfast at McDonalds.
    You might drop the " I am the teacher" and replace it with
   "I am your mother and I am interested in your getting the
    best education possible"
