Laziness is part of the sin nature and it has to be accounted for. <br />Joyce, it is so much fun to get into each of the children's interests, I have learned a lot about things I never would have picked up on my own. :)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523153276984536838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282410011408820652.post-77959573425898509562010-07-10T08:01:42.998-07:002010-07-10T08:01:42.998-07:00Hi Kerri,

After covering the basics of learning to read and math, we would study whatever was of particular interest to each child. At one point we had gerbil habitats all over the basement, since one of our daughters was interested in how many colors and patterns she could breed! Shortly after learning to read our first son became interested in Indian chiefs, and read one book after another on that topic.<br /><br />I am thankful for the opportunity to have finally met you and Rand and the family, Kerri. I continue to be amazed at how alike our family ideals are. I do hope more members of our families can meet one another.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15201951577572323343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282410011408820652.post-65839275545388659362010-07-10T07:06:49.758-07:002010-07-10T07:06:49.758-07:00LOL - rock stars of homeschooling.

I know what you mean! <br /><br />I think there's a fine line to walk when homeschooling and trying to attend to kids' interests as well as their needs to learn something they may not want to.Marbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396985630486715494noreply@blogger.com
