One of the biggest worries new homeschool parents face when it comes to deciding whether or not to homeschool is literally the simplest area to accomplish. I was worried about it too when I first started homeschooling over 20 years ago.
Randi St. Denis, Director of Home Educators Encouragement Alliance (HEEA), is an educator, popular homeschool speaker, and a seasoned homeschooling mom.
Getting ready for homeschool is like planting a garden. In a garden, you can’t squash your sprouts of success nor should you squash your homeschooling efforts.
For Mother’s Day, I wanted to write an article honoring the homeschooling mom; but how do I do that without sounding trite or using all the common clichés?
What makes YOU love being a homeschool mom?
Christians have removed their children from public schools and, at great sacrifice of time and money, have pursued their children’s education under the banner of Christ. Is it working? Is the homeschool movement fulfilling its goal?
I don’t think that Christians really grasp the immense value of moms to the church and to society at large.
I’ve homeschooled my children for almost twenty-two years. The other day I had a conversation with another homeschool mom, and we talked about how over the years we had changed as homeschooling moms. Our conversation started me thinking, “Why had I started to homeschool in the first place?”
When I began homeschooling I became a “homeschool magazine junkie”. I loved the dream that someday I, too, would have a family like those pictured on the covers.
