It is obvious that
there is a problem with
the care that America's
children are receiving.
When a son or daughter
sees Ms. Jones at day
care or Elmo on TV more
than their mom or dad,
serious implications
result for the health of
the children and of the
family. Rachel
McHaffey
The unfortunate truth is that
working moms often miss seeing much of their younger
children's development (first steps, first words, new
discoveries, etc.) Homeschooling, especially as children get
older, allows moms more time to interact and get to know
their children better. Many working moms are tired from
their workday, and the few concentrated hours in the
evenings, when energy and emotional levels are low, are not
ideal times for interaction. J. Michael Smith,
President HSLDA
A great idea for resources
on teaching preschool at home is to visit your local
Christian bookstore. Purchase a Sunday school lesson
plan and begin teaching your young child each day about
Jesus. Not only will your child grow in God's word but
you will be teaching them a love for learning. Here
are some resources you can purchase on-line. Also,
please take the time to visit
www.consideringhomeschooling.org.
