How to Learn & Grow Together: Encouragement for the Weary Homeschool MotherPrzykład

Know What You Want

We can often have such a romantic image of homeschooling. We visualise ourselves reading books by the fire, painting in the garden, observing child-initiated science experiments with the mess scattered around the garage, and all while our children are reciting Bible verses and being extremely kind to each other!

Whatever your reality or romantic ideal is of homeschooling, we need the vision to make these dreams a reality. Thinking big and dreaming wildly is okay, but nothing happens without vision. When we grasp the vision, we can break it down into doable, realistic daily goals.

A vision or mission statement is a powerful tool for seeing growth in your homeschool. Vision motivates us, encourages us, and gives us purpose in the role God has given us. Research shows that you are 42% more likely to achieve your goals and dreams simply by writing them down regularly.

Encouragement

So why not spend a moment today writing down a clear vision for your homeschool, then placing it somewhere you can see it every day? Write it, read it, and then run with it!
