EDUCATION
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Education becomes a lifestyle when homeschooling. The world broadens and deepens with possibility when strategizing how to inspire, how to open doors or how to make something tangible, relatable or meaningful. Respectfully questioning "authority" or "norms" is just a part of the job. The freedom, variety and responsibility in homeschooling shifts one's perspective not just on education, but on life.
Education is a gift of opportunity that millions live without access to. We are fortunate to have it readily available. We are all the more fortunate to have the freedom to seek better options than government run education formulated for the masses. Life is, however, complex and messy. Homeschooling is not always the right option for every phase or every family, but exploring the ideas and possibilities can enhance every educational endeavor.
Play with the concepts presented here for a new dynamic in any education. Build a fresh vision. Explore new possibilities.
Clearly stated intentions are like a compass, allowing one to get around setbacks with determination and to recognize unpaved opportunities.
Beliefs are evident in the subtleties of everything said and done, hence perspectives on education and intelligence significantly impact students, ever closing or opening doors for them.
To absorb knowledge is one thing; to make that knowledge your own, engage with it, toy with it, question it, employ it and consider the results. Then it has a story, a personal one, and it is yours.
Character
The foundation of a life well lived is good character and the secret to parents enjoying their children is to train their hearts.
Health
A mind is subject to the state of its body. Any parent of a tired or hungry toddler will attest to this.
