A wise man once said, “We can teach our children courage, faith, and perseverance and show them how to learn, and they can teach us to laugh, sing, and love.” In other words, each member of the family has valuable lessons to teach the family.
When a family homeschooled, this reciprocal relationship is magnified. Homeschooling participants are affected by more than just the person sitting at the homeschooling table. All generations create and strengthen the bond between family members. Homeschooling families spend their time laughing, learning, playing and living together 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can choose the best curriculum to promote an intrinsic love of lifelong learning. The homeschool curriculum is flexible. The parameters are determined by the best teachers available, parents, who know and love their children.
Learning never stops in the homeschool setting. Parents are not just lecturers or observers. They are active participants who expand, explain and encourage their children to be curious and explore the specific areas that interest them without the constraints of arbitrary rules set by an outside source.
Another benefit of homeschooling is that parents model and reinforce worthwhile behavior and downplay undesirable behavior in a natural way.
Historically, several generations lived in the same house. All benefited from this multi-generational living arrangement, and learned valuable lessons that cannot be taught in a book. Furthermore, most of the time there was the added advantage of the multi-grade / level school for formal education.
These days, we often put the older generation in nursing homes when they get too bothersome (just to visit them on vacation), and settle for a failed public school system that is tasked with being everything to everyone, but alienating. to most of the participants.
Homeschooling is the best of both worlds. It is good for both the family and the education of your children.
The benefits of homeschooling are limitless. As a homeschooling parent, I believe that homeschooling is the best gift a parent can give their children. Try it. It will like you!
