Your story is a perfect example that we, as homeschooling parents, do not have to be all and know all for our children to be successful. By allowing your children to take responsibility and by being available to provide direction, you gave your children a great gift. You are welcome to come back to Educating Today anytime and share your great insight and comments. Thanks so much, Susan who thinks all of you should visit James' blog at http://TheRealHeartOfGod.com James,

It has an open and clean look to it. Your articles are interesting and I have read through a number of them from the various topics. I just started mine at TheRealHeartofGod.com. I hope I can make mine somthing like this eventually. Nice job. My wife and I have homeschooled 8 children. We just have one left in high school. The hardest part for us was not feeling bad because we couldn't do it like the families that wrote for the homeschool magazines and spoke at the conferences. We got them started reading and tried to have an atmosphere of learning although we were very informal and loose. My wife and I struggle to do the simplest things in life and we thank God for giving us children that could take the responsibilty for their life and education on themselves. they are a lawyer, a hotel management trainer and a Navy pilot in training. We have a Master of Theology student and a police officer. One is a ministry intern and sound and media expert. Another is a youth worship leader and the youngest is receiving his Royal Ranger Gold Medal of Achievement Award in a few weeks. They all have bought their own cars and paid for their own college. Because I couldn't they have had to do those things for themselves and in the process took ownership of their own destiny. You don't have to be a great educating parent. I focused on loving and supporting them and teaching them to make their own decisions as early as possible. Now I go to my kids for advice in many areas and that's going to get even better as they grow in life and accomplishment. Susan,

My wife and I have homeschooled 8 children. We just have one left in high school. The hardest part for us was not feeling bad because we couldn’t do it like the families that wrote for the homeschool magazines and spoke at the conferences. We got them started reading and tried to have an atmosphere of learning although we were very informal and loose. My wife and I struggle to do the simplest things in life and we thank God for giving us children that could take the responsibilty for their life and education on themselves. they are a lawyer, a hotel management trainer and a Navy pilot in training.

You don’t have to be a great educating parent. I focused on loving and supporting them and teaching them to make their own decisions as early as possible. Now I go to my kids for advice in many areas and that’s going to get even better as they grow in life and accomplishment.
