Education

Eagle Forum of Alabama Board Member Lori Herring (RN-Ret), who homeschooled her four now adult boys, provides the following encouragement and resources to our readers:

Take a deep breath…let it out slowly….and look at your children with fresh eyes…. The Lord has given you these particular children because YOU and your SPOUSE were picked to teach and raise His children. You are equipped to do this. Relax…ask your Father for direction and He will hear you.

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.

IMHO, the best way to start the day is to take a few minutes to thank the Lord for your blessings and ask Him for guidance for today. He is faithful. He will be your guide. Then teach your children to do the same.

I have compiled a list of free or low cost resources available online that anyone can use from home. It is by no means a comprehensive list. In fact, there is so much available it can be overwhelming.

The best way to homeschool is the way that works for your family, for each particular child. What works great for one family, may not work for yours. Don’t be afraid to change if it’s not working.
