The Fundamentals of Homeschooling

Do you sometimes worry that your home school does not adequately prepare your child for the demands of adulthood? This is natural. My advice is: stop "worrying" and focuses on maintaining the basics of homeschooling. Remember the following:

1. A loved their children - You are in homeschooling because the love of their children and only wish the best for them.

* Your love will be seen through you.
* Your love will help continue despite the obstacles.
* Your love will help you keep finding new ideas, better methods and deeper understanding of the basic needs of his son.

2. You are committed to Relationships - In a previous article Grandpapa 'rave' about how the relationship is one of the universal core of any form of school success.

* When be tough moments, remember their commitment to building relationships.
* Do not let little things or great things for the event, putting stress on the relationship with his son.
* Maintain communication!
* Keep listening!

3. You cree "Authority" - There is no successful schooling can take place without loving but firm authority. Authority can be viewed at:

* How to structure the learning environment. This includes, flexible, but regular time for study and for play. It also includes the structuring of the place of study, either on the computer, or at the dining table.
* The limits are set. Do your children know when enough is enough? Do you know what the consequences if we do not do their part in cleaning or washing the dishes or make their own beds?

4. You and your confidence in who trusted their children

* You trust your intuition tell you what the correct answer is a particularly difficult issue or a delicate situation.
* You trust your child to honor the values that you cree when it must make a decision when they are not around.
* You trust all members of his family to come together and support each other when any kind of threat that seems as if from nowhere.

5. You are committed to knowledge - As a parent you are homeschooling in the 'knowledge'.:

* You know your child, but also discover new dimensions of his person in one day by day.
* You know the content of the topics that you teach your child, but also have pledged to continue studying and to advance their own understanding of the world we live in and that is their privilege to unlock her for her son.

6. You can have fun and laugh at oneself. -- At home is a "serious". Accept responsibility for your child's education puts great emphasis on their shoulders. However, do not take these things too seriously.

* Be willing to laugh at itself or together with his son.
* Do not be afraid to break into the carpet.
* Enjoy the moment with his son.
* Enjoy your child!

Love, trust, authority, knowledge and a sense of humor. These are the essential elements, the fundamentals of homeschooling.
