That's basically what my post for the carnival was about as well--how homeschooling becomes a pleasure in so many ways not just for the student but also for the teacher/mother. I am learning so much, emjoying so much--and we're not even into the really meaty stuff yet in the upper years.

My youngest is catching up to my 7 year old in the area of alphabet sounds, (and she is beyond my 11 year old in narrating; my 11 year old learned to read much more readily than her 7 and 9 yo siblings; and the 9 year old will soon surpass everyone in math) but they are both making connections at THEIR pace. I love that we can take time to do that and not push them beyond their limits.

It is this very personal interaction with books and ideas that makes the re-teaching of the same material with younger children so wonderfully fresh for us all. The older children quickly remember those stirring parts, the younger child enjoys making it "her own". Each child connects and responds uniquely!Nadenehttp://practicalpages.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775315691172710824.post-24110779746408854482013-04-03T05:16:39.117-07:002013-04-03T05:16:39.117-07:00Very true.

If we believe that teaching our children is something God has put on our heart then He will give us the wisdom we need to get the job done. Sometimes the temptation is to panic and invest in more resources when the solution is something quite simple & right beside us.
