What Does Homeschooling Mean to Me?
Homeschooling has woven itself into the fabric of our family life, becoming our way of being. Here’s what it truly means to me:
Deeper Family Connections
Homeschooling allows me to spend quality time with all my children, not just the younger ones. When my older kids attended traditional school, I often felt disconnected from their daily experiences. Society often suggests that parents should distance themselves as their children grow older, but I was never comfortable with that notion. I cherish the moments spent with my children, enjoying their presence daily.
Integrating Faith into Learning
Our approach to homeschooling enables us to openly discuss and incorporate our faith into all aspects of life and learning. Faith isn’t confined to Sundays; it permeates subjects like history, science, and literature. We explore how faith shaped historical events and how it intertwines with science as a study of creation. This holistic integration feels natural and vital for us.
Open and Trusting Relationships
Through homeschooling, my teenagers and I share a remarkably open relationship. We talk about everything without embarrassment, laugh together, and truly enjoy each other’s company. My fourteen-year-old and sixteen-year-old have become close friends, free from societal pressures that often portray parents as irrelevant.
Tailored Educational Choices
I have the privilege of choosing the books my children read and the subjects they explore. This involvement is crucial to me. I guide their learning, choosing the right moments for them to tackle challenging topics, customized to each child’s readiness.
Personalized Learning Pace
Homeschooling allows my children to progress at their own speed. If they grasp something quickly, we move on; if they need more time, we slow down. Immediate feedback means we address issues before they escalate. I’m invested in their success because I know them better than anyone else.
Witnessing Growth
My older children get to witness the development of their younger siblings. They marvel at milestones like a baby’s first laugh, learning valuable life skills such as patience and caregiving. These are essential lessons for anyone.
Flexible Schedule
Our schedule is relaxed and stress-free. We can schedule appointments during less hectic times and avoid early starts that don’t suit us. This flexibility is a significant stress reliever.
More Free Time
Without the constraints of traditional schooling, we have more time for other activities. We complete daily tasks efficiently, not bound by the need to manage large groups or navigate lengthy hallways.
Off-Peak Adventures
Homeschooling grants us the freedom to travel during off-peak times, avoiding crowds at places like Disney World.
Embracing the Chaos
Having six children at home means constant activity, which naturally leads to more mess. However, I’ve learned to prioritize education and growth over a spotless house. We all pitch in for chores, ensuring schoolwork remains the priority.
Being Present
Homeschooling has taught me to slow down and savor the present. I appreciate the small yet profound moments with my younger children, feeling less rushed and more in tune with their growth.
Embracing Motherhood Fully
In essence, homeschooling provides the time and space to truly embrace my role as a mother.
