I am glad that I won't have to worry about my great-nieces and nephews.

I just did not think I had what it took to teach mine all that they needed. I tried to instill the love of God, good morals, and respect of others in them when we were home together.<br />You are doing a wonderful job with those children. They are such happy, healthy, and well rounded children. They will reap so many more benefits from being home-schooled than being in the public school system. There is much evil there now, it truly scares me...marthanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614314745735042939.post-19102439002981705412012-02-13T16:15:36.958-08:002012-02-13T16:15:36.958-08:00I love your "values", even though I enjo...I love your "values", even though I enjoy mine attending public school. I still make the time to teach at home in addition, in case he would happen to fall into that "mold" you mention. Ethan is VERY advanced for his age, and I plan to always keep it this way. At the ages our kids are at currently, they're complete "sponges". Anything and everything is absorbed quickly. By working with them closely, you can expand their capabilities. Teaching them doesn't have to be just for the couple hours of your school time. I find Ethan learns best during our family time. It can be as simple as teaching while watching a family movie, during meals (which we almost ALWAYS eat at the dinner table, as most don't do anymore), or something fun for his tub time play. I wish you all the best in your decision to home school. And we're just a phone call away when your kiddos are in need of some social time outside the fam. :) ~Misty B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614314745735042939.post-55850166224896559212012-02-13T06:20:43.937-08:002012-02-13T06:20:43.937-08:00well said kelly. you have such a way with words. a...well said kelly. you have such a way with words. and i have to say that the more i learn about home school the more im all for it. like you, i think there is too much filth out there for kids to learn at an early age, or even at an older age, that im happy my babies will not hear about in kindergarten. and again i will say, you're such a great mommy. i love yousandynoreply@blogger.com
