Homeschooling is a Way to Strengthen Family Bonds
We all want to build better relationships with our kids and relationships begin with connections. By connecting with our children in meaningful ways we are strengthening our parent/child bonds.
But how is this accomplished with home schooling? Homeschooling allows you, the parent more opportunities to listen to your child. You are the one that helps them find solutions to their troubles. Then they feel heard, even if you don’t agree. It allows families to have fun together. Having fun with favorite games, outings, or even pretend play helps build those family ties.
Homeschooling helps families identify individual passions. Even if your child is passionate about something you have no interest in. Now you can become interested or a least know what your child is interested in. When you home-school you really get to know your child. Like really know them. You know your child anyway as a parent but homeschooling can unlock some things you might not notice if someone else were teaching your child.
You become one of the loud voices and the biggest influence in your child's life. It takes time and commitment to build loving relationships. Every child is unique so each bond will be also. Homeschooling helps parents cultivate that bond.
Some of the benefits of home school are as follows:
- Allow for a flexible home-school schedule
- Allow you to get to know your children
- Allow you to learn new things together
- Children receive more individualized academic plans
- Children can learn at their own page and see faster progress
