"Greater love has no mom than this, that she lay down her life for her child."
All mamas have moments of insecurity:
Can I really do this? Am I adequate? Will I cover all the bases and fill in all the holes? Will I pick the right curriculum? Am I doing enough? These are normal questions as educating our children at home are important issues.
All parents are teachers, whether they recognize it or not. We open (or close) worlds to our children—nature and creation, words and stories, manners and values, faith and the reality of God, virtues and character. Education is about much more than public, private or homeschooling. It is about recognizing the personhood of our children—their hearts, minds, souls and bodies and then making plans and purposes to help them grow healthy and strong in their capacity in these areas. We awaken wonder by opening these worlds with great resources, a loving foundation in relationships, authentic faith as a model and as a message and so much more.
A truly educated person, one who can think and reason, who loves to learn, who is engaged in ideas, books and has a love for learning is not that way because of a perfect educational experience. Motivation and a love from learning all start in the heart-the place where dreams are made, inspiration is given, an affection grows between the child and teacher. Understanding how to motivate the heart must be the goal for the mom who wants to truly influence her child.
Join me today as I speak with my inner circle friends who hold a philosophy defined in my new book, Awaking Wonder, as they share their beginnings—how to develop a philosophy of Education and where to start.
I hope our conversation will encourage you.
