Deuteronomy 6:7 "And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."
Homeschooling is taking some getting used to this year. We started the first week of August and are already behind in lessons. Eight subjects times three children equals a lot of reading to make sure they are a learning and absorbing all the information!
I decided I can drive myself crazy over making sure they are "getting it", or I can do what I can do and make the best of every moment as a teachable one. My children do learn best when I walk them through their lessons, but it's also my job to help them learn to be independent in their studies. It's a difficult balance to achieve. Deuteronomy 6:7 shows that children should be taught diligently, which means with care, but it basically says that this should be done always: when you sit, walk, lie down, and rise up. We are always in one of these positions. So in other words, teach them carefully always.
