Notes...
Go
ahead– just be free. Be free to be the
parent/teacher in your children’s lives. God in his
infinite wisdom has given you the freedom to train up
your children. He didn’t tell you to just to get
them to the age where they could communicate, walk, go
to the bathroom, dress themselves, etc. and then you
wouldn’t be able to continue the training process.
It would be time for "THE EXPERTS" to take
over. Now hold it right there! You should be the one
that knows more about your children than anybody
else because you should be the one spending more
time with them. You should know their
strengths and weaknesses. You should know when they are
playing you and when they are shooting you straight,
what they know and don’t know. As far as being an
"expert" – that should be you! Maybe you aren’t the
expert on all the other children, but you should be as
far as your own children are concerned. God said YOU train
your children. You should believe in yourself as much
as God believes in you! While He has given us
instructions in this endeavor, he allows us to choose
what we will do with our own. So now here you are
either contemplating teaching at home or already
having decided to do so. What to do now you ask? Well,
that’s the great thing! You can do anything! Where
do you start? Right where you are. No need to panic.
Take it slow. The goal is to teach your child after
you. Does you child know as much as you? Start there.
Teach them what you know - exhaust all your knowledge
and resources. Teach them to think, to love knowledge,
to be independent, to live life without you. After
all, that is the ultimate goal - to live successfully
without you the parent. The good news is that you
can do it because God believes in you and you can
agree with God!
