Today, our first day of homeschooling for the new year, had me a little worried when it came time for writing. Kenna, who has all summer insisted she had forgotten how to write her name or any of her letters and would only scribble when pushed, today did a very neatly done assignment that included writing her name 3 times and a whole row of both upper case and lower case "A"s. I knew she could do it. Just stubborn at times. But she likes school and I guess she thought asking her during "vacation" was just asking too much.
So, the question of the day is, how do you deal with a child when their stubborn streak arises during your schooling experience?
We homeschool because we believe "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." (Hodding Carter, Jr.) In order to help our children establish roots and spread their wings, we believe in...strength in family relationships...an intimate relationship with God...being socially active...networking within the community to make our town a better place...excellence in academics and life skills...and that we are never too old to yearn for knowledge.
