Homeschooling 101

Feb. 4, 2008

Friends as Guides

A mentor reminded me of something I happened to just happily stumble into years ago.  

 

Look to others who are raising children you admire.  I have a few friends who have the same educational goals I have who happen to have children a few years ahead of mine.  These have been the best relationships that have taught me more about being a mom then any others.  I'm able to learn from some of their mistakes in picking curriculum.  We also buy curriculums together when we can as it will be passed on to my kids.  They are also fresh from certain issues that I am about to delve into and are able to give me advice on what fights to pick with my kids and when I should back off. 

 

I have some friends who have kids who have graduated recently as well who have helped me focus on the big picture.  Keeping that in front of me everyday. 

 

There is a little verse I have at my kitchen sink "Begin Each Day as if it were on Purpose".   I think "Live each day as if it were on purpose." 

 

:)  Hope all is well with you,

 

Candace

It's funny I stumbled across your blog accidently but enjoy reading your posts and children are older than mine so I can learn something.
