As I read this post today at The Elephant's Child, I was reminded once again of one of the primary reasons we have chosen to home educate the rapscallious rascals.
TIME...in a hurried world filled with endless amusements, distractons, activities and busyness, homeschooling allows our children time...
Time to just BE...time to read a novel for hours on end...time to dig in the garden...time to sit quietly and think...time to negotiate and form strong relationships with siblings...time to look at an earthworm burrowing...TIME...
I love this quote from RL Stevenson...
Happy hearts and happy faces, Happy play in grassy places--
That was how in ancient ages, Children grew to kings and sages.
