Home Schooling Hands On

[Theresa Chenoweth]

The dynamics of freedom and education is awesome. Back in the day
before schools were essential people learned from home and their
parents. You may have worked for your parents in the fields, on the
farm, or helped run your family business. Home schooling has been
around for generations. With today's technology and the importance of
education the best we can do for our love ones today is to educate
them. Life goes beyond the traditional basics of reading, writing,
mathematics, and spelling. They all are necessary today to live by and
to be a blessing to others. While many of today's parents take a stab
at home schooling it's nothing new; it's been around for years.
There are many aspects of home schooling which goes beyond the basics
of class room settings. How are you teaching your children today? Are
you giving them the moral teachings that resemble respect, honesty and
love? Or are you at the helm of raising children who show no respect
to their elders or peers? In most cases children learn from their
surrounding most of the time. If your child is spending more time in
an environment that's not positive most of the time; then they will
learn a lot of negativity. It's important you as a parent take the
time to educate your child in every aspect of learning.
If you teach what money cannot buy; it is one of the best educations
you could give to your child. Your "home-environment" is the setting
place that will shape and mold your child to the degree that when they
step foot outdoors your likeness will be shown through your children
of what happens in your home. Example: if your child goes outside and
has a filthy mouth with a lot of cursing; then chances are they hear
you cuss regularly. Children learn how to cuss and fuss because they
see us as parents do it on occasions. What kind of "home-schooling"
are you teaching? Are you teaching personal hygiene? Are you teaching
respect for self and for others? Are you teaching your child about
money and personal finance? Have you taught your children how to pray;
or do you pray? Home-schooling is a way of life; teachings that goes
way beyond a text book. As parents we should be teaching our children
in the morning, at noon, and at night. Are you teaching your children
how to love God? Dueteronomy 6; 7 says "you shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your
strength."
While traveling on the road or being in the comfort of your own home;
teaching and having fun goes hand in hand to properly raise your
children in an atmosphere that will help you both grow together as a
family unit; this is real "home-schooling."
Your child or children are an asset to you and not a liability. Look,
Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of your womb is a
reward. Psalm 127:3. If you are struggling with your parental rights
