Is there a subject that intimidates you? Do you ever hear yourself saying things like “I’m no good at math” or “Writing is not my gift”? Do you find yourself skimming over grammar lessons with your children when things are introduced that you never learned in school?
My encouragement to you this month is to jump in and become a student yourself! One of the joys of homeschooling is getting to learn a lot of things you never learned as a child. You do your child a disservice if you skim past lessons that you aren’t confident in teaching. Swallow your pride and jump in and learn right alongside your kids. If it’s important enough for them to learn it, then shouldn’t you learn it too?? Is your child dragging their feet a bit and not eager to do their lessons? Make sure that you are modeling an excitement and love of learning to them. There is always more that all of us could be learning. One of the best times of homeschooling for our family was when my 5th grader wanted to learn how to code HTML to build websites from scratch and I studied right along with him and learned it myself! The scripture below encourages us to surround our children with positive/Godly role models. Let’s make sure we are the best! “Everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” (Luke 6:40) Jump in and go back-to-school for yourself!! |
