I just have to say that I LOVE teaching my kids at home. Or wherever we happen to be! From as early as I can remember I loved being the teacher. I taught my younger siblings whether they wanted to play school with me or not! I taught in jr. kids church and then other ministries as soon as I was older than the group below me. As an adult, I've taught little kids, elementary kids, teenagers and even other adults. I love to teach. I love to teach God's Word and help people see the truths for their own application. I also love to teach about truths in life. I have a lot of experience in dealing with behavior and I love to teach parenting skills (I got a lot of this from 10 years of working with families with kids with autism). There is something about helping someone discover something new for his/her self that energizes me. I also am a perpetual learner and love to read and learn new things. This total combination has left our family so happy with our choice to teach the kids at home. The grins, asking when we can "do school" and hugs while being told "mom, you're my best teacher" are telling me the kids are having as much fun as I am! The best thing about it all? I NEVER thought I'd homeschool for a million years. Isn't God amazing how he leads us in the desires in our hearts-even when we don't even know we have those desires until we look back and it's crystal clear? I'm finally embracing this teacher thing and can't wait to see how God uses it next.
