Homeschooling?

Homeschooling? Absolutely! What is a home school about anyway? It's simply about learning in a loving family environment. The one thing I can encourage to know is that when it comes to homeschooling your children, it's not as hard as you would think. The hesitation to home school is really about the 'confidence' of whether you believe you can do it or not. Most mothers prior to stepping out to home school, wonder if it will benefit their children or hinder them. Really, this is the most challenging part of the process. That is, to believe that you 'can' do it. 'You will  never hinder your children in learning when you simply teach them'.

I want to take the time to encourage you. God has created in every child the ability to learn! Not only that, they have a real desire to experience the world around them and they are sponges to learning and applying what they gain. Just take a look at their pretend play and dress up fun.

When you realize that within your children is this God given gift, something begins to happen on the inside of you. You find within every child there is a God given ability to go after knowledge and grow with it and you see how you can inspire them as the parent. That leaves you to know that learning isn't really about you, it's about them.

Putting children in an atmosphere where they can draw from their Godly environment and inspiring them to go after what interests them, is rewarding to you as a parent. It's a parent who knows their child the best. The commitment isn't really for your children, they are willing and ready, the commitment really lies within you. 

Go for it! The blessing goes beyond all that you can ask or think!
