Our last visit was to share the options for my firstborns schooling experience. The path definitely changed, but the goals are the same. My husband and I are committed to raising children who will fulfill the destiny of God in their own "bent".
Our son is now a full-time student DCS, in K-5. As an experienced ECE professionals, there are aspects of developmentally appropriate classroom experience that are not present, I admit that. The greater focus is hat through the nurturing environments of home, church, and family childcare he was ready to enter the world of school.
We understand that children pick up the messages that are spoken the loudest, and that message at DCS is obey the rules or face the consequences. Our home rules are the same, yet spoken by parents whose main goal is to nurture understanding and provide hands on guidance to the goal.
The second message is that Christ is center to all we do. The same is our message at home.
The last focus is the method. We are a teaching house, a house of exploration, discovery and wonder. That's where our homeschooling comes into redefinition. While I believe that we are the source of educating our children, we choose to partner with the school for formal education. Moral development is up to us. We educate our sons to be a light of Christ in the world and to change the systems they are in by the instruction we provide. So, we change the blogs focus to Bringing Up Boys: Our Journey - Gods Way. Stay tuned!
