While visiting family in Indiana, we enjoyed a nature walk at Sugar Ridge and a brief secondary walk at Pike State Forest. What an amazing world God has made! In addition to seeing a Great Blue Heron, turtles, countless butterflies and dragonflies, and even a few (hundred) moth caterpillars; we were able to enjoy the company of an Aunt and a cousin! Thanks Aunt Maria for a wonderful trip!
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
