You may be a home educator if.......

*You teach your children to love God
*You teach your children obedience
*You teach your children to love and respect others
*You teach your children manners
*You teach your children how to do chores
*You teach your children to give
*You read to your child
*Building family relationships is very important to you

You are a home educator if you are intentional in your efforts to “teach a child in the way he should go”.

Somehow, we get caught up in thinking it's all about academics.

Are you a home educator?

  1. Praise God - He has been showing me - it's not about the memory work - the writing - the math, but it's all about falling in love with the Lord and knowing WHO they are in christ - It's hard to implement while watching Math U See - and doing grammar, but God is showing me there is a better way! and...I am listening!
    Ps 1!!! streams of living water that produces fruit in due season - everything they touch will prosper!

  3. OH I am SO relieved to read this!!! For one, it helps me to refocus on the things that are most important in raising HIS children.

    But mostly it excites me to see a statement of FREEDOM and UNITY among parents. THAT is my biggest struggle in homeschooling is sensing the division that our METHODS of education can bring. I heard someone say it this way...who cares if you nurse your baby or bottle-feed, just as long as you feed your baby! AMEN!!!

    Cindy- YOU are definitely a home educator!
    Christie- yes, it breaks my heart when people think the methods are more important than anything else.
    Ali - you're STILL cute! In fact, you still look the same!
    Anna - I love this pic too. It happened more than we have pictures to show. And we DIDN'T teach you EVERYTHING you know! ;)
