Let’s talk about mothers who feel ill-equipped to home educate (pause while everyone including myself raises her hand). It is important to acknowledge the very human reaction to a way of doing education that probably has no precedent in our lives. Home-educating mothers-to-be can be tempted to consider the task and conclude they are not …
Home Educating: When We Feel Ill-Equipped to Begin Read More »
How well do we love other home-educating mothers? We are on the same team after all. The more families who give their children a true Christian education in the home, the greater the benefit to the children, the church and the nation. As I watch my five girls grow up together, I often reflect on …
