It's been almost a full year since I have started homeschooling. It's been over a year since I wanted to homeschool. Yes, I still have days where I want to pull my hair out. Ha! But more often then not, I have days that are great.
I recently started thinking about how homeschooling was whenI first started with Aiden and now. I remember mine and Aiden's frustration and my lack of patience. Now, my patience has grown (thank the Lord) and Aiden and I have come into an understanding of each other's role when "school" starts.
These are the 7 reasons why I love homeschool:
- I love my kids, no one will do more right by them than me.
- I can delve further into a subject because one of my children are interested in it more. I take Aiden to a science center just about every week for him to go to a class and learn all things science with other homeschool kids.
- We can do school work in the car, outside, at the park ...ANYWHERE! That freedom is liberating.
- If we need a break, we TAKE it.
- No more meaningless school days. Everyday we accomplish something or build upon what we have been working on.
- I am closer to my children. I am soaking up this time with them, because I know it won't last forever.
- Our family as a unit has grown closer. When my husband is home he gets to be with them all of the time, so his time home is better. Our family is better.
Today, for instance, Aiden wanted to do his school in his room. As long as he was of good attitude and getting his work done, I was all for it.
This is Aiden catching me taking a picture of him. Haha. I love that boy.
So, there you have it. These are my top seven reasons why I love homeschooling my children. They might change. Ask me in another year... Hehe.
Have a great one,
