Preparation is HUGE in homeschooling. Not teacher preparation, although that is important. I’m talking about preparing your child for LIFE.

Sure I want my kids to be academically prepared, but just as important is the knowledge that they are ready to leave my home in many other ways. It is awesome when a senior has been prepared for independence so they are ready to start college or a job after graduation. Just as important as preparing for independence is to prepare the character of your child. Honesty, integrity, love, kindness, diligence.

Just as important as preparing for independence is to prepare the character of your child. Honesty, integrity, love, kindness, diligence. Character that is cultivated grows and can yield a harvest beyond our wildest dreams.
