You're right - it's often hard for new homeschoolers (and some more experienced ones, too) to relax and let kids learn their own way. As you homeschool, you learn to see the indicators that your child is ready for more structure. It takes time and experience, though; I'm much better at it with my younger daughter than I was with my older.<BR/><BR/>I find homeschooling educates me as much as it does my kids - it chafes away the rough edges and forces me to focus on what's really important. And we, too, have cried many tears; but the results have been so worth it as I watch my daughters grow and mature into beautiful, bright young ladies.Marcy Muserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787308098682419608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31025548.post-70242965534676380872007-09-23T22:59:00.000-06:002007-09-23T22:59:00.000-06:00Thank you for the nice words! Your write up is wel...Thank you for the nice words! Your write up is well done!!! And I think so many new HSing families need to hear that it is OK to do it THEIR OWN way, that it is alright for children to play and learn through playing and to take their time learning...there will come a time when our children will need to be a bit more studious, but while they are young I think we need to let them learn in a way that is natural to them.<BR/><BR/>It is something I have been fighting these past three weeks with my own son and he in his great wisdom and strength has insisted upon making sure I remembered and understood, no matter how many tears either of us cried...and I finally remembered!Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226629390376056787noreply@blogger.com
