teach up a child

At the beginning of this year I began to feel a change in thought. A desire to homeschool my kids that I never had before. God was showing me things that I had never seen before about raising up my kids. I had always wanted them to go to public school to learn, and to learn to stand for what they believe. But there were questions in my heart about how to raise up my kids with a strong and good belief system. How to teach them to be kind and selfless? My son was, and still is, in kindergarten and I have found so many issues that I disagree with in the school system. First disciplining issues and unacceptance of faith issues. Then just plain old education issues. I began to see the best choice for my children was to teach them at home, to encourage them and to let them run with their learning. I have had numerous confirmations that I am doing the right thing. I first talked to my husband and he gave me full permission to go ahead in all of this. I never thought I could homeschool and had no desire at all, but then I realized that I already had been. We, my son Aiden and I, had started a book that my friend had taught to two of her children while homeschooling. He was reading by kindergarten. So here we go and here's the intro to our blog. There are more stories that stem off of this one. We are still in the planning stages and are excited for the changes coming. Hope you have fun reading too.
