I love the fact that I can use nontraditional books. I agree with Martin Luther King in that character development is an essential element in education. What good is an abundantly prosperous life if the well-being of others is overlooked?
I know that anything I do outside our family starts inside my home. The homeschooling experience is providing me another testing ground for compassion, healing, flexibility, patience, trust, and understanding. We are diving into the meaning of life, purpose, and what really matters. I am learning so much about myself and my children.
I am still in the first phases of maximizing our homeschooling experiences. Some days are better than others. However, I feel and see the benefit of being a student and a teacher to two wonderful beings.
