How Not to Homeschool: 7 Steps to Sabotage Your Homeschooling

By Maggie Hogan

1 Peter 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.


1. How Not to Order your Life

     Be realistic. Start Somewhere. Count the victories.

     Laundry. Chicken. Dust.


2. How Not to Plan your School Year

1 Corinthians 14:40 Do all things decently and in order.


3. How Not to Choose Curriculum

     You can't teach them everything they need to know.

     Education is NOT curriculum.


4. How Not to Start Your Day

     What does YOUR morning look like? What changes would you like to make?


5. How Not to Involve Dad

     Mind readers? Who knows the perfect solution to dad's ministry in your home?

 

6. How Not to Take Care of Mom (and Dad!)

     What are your needs? What are your husband's?


7. How Not to Spend Time with God

     What are your priorities? And do you live your life in a way that accurately reflects them?

     Are you in the Word daily?

     How's your prayer life?

     Do you have your eyes fixed on Jesus?


~ Summary ~

Homeschooling is not about the Perfect Plan.

Homeschooling is not about the Perfect Curriculum.

Homeschooling is not about the Perfect Family.

Homeschooling is about having our hearts right with Jesus and passing that love of the Lord on to our kids. Homeschooling is a tool for training disciples of Christ. Praise the Lord!

What are your needs? What are your husband's? Are changes needed? What's hindering you from being who God has called you to be?
