I just started How to Really Love Your Child based on your recommendation here and I just had to stop back and say thank you. This is the one parenting book I needed... .-= Diana (Ladybug Limited)'s last blog: Red Sings from Treetops =-.

great post. i wasn’t at all shocked to see the book “the blessing” in your suggested reading. i read that book even before i was married, and 13 years later find it’s truths of giving blessing to your children to be the most fruitful of any book i’ve read.

Very encouraging post since I often wonder if my five year old son will give me a run for my money up until he's well into his teens. What an amazing boy, but what a handful. Reading this really gives me hope that a strong will does serve our children later in life. Thanks for posting .-= Tracie's last blog: Avoiding our car whenever possible =-.

I take great heart when I hear from those who have traveled the home school road and live to tell about it. I’m still sort of new at this and sometimes don’t know how to prioritize…not to mention getting bogged down in the specifics of curricula and methods and placement. It’s good to be reminded that all that stuff is secondary to the cultivation of the heart. Thank you.

Wonderful post! There is so much you find yourself relearning as a homeschool mom. It is similar to holding your first child when everything you thought important seems to take on different roles in the background. You start to rethink the very nature of education and parenting as a homeschool mom. .-= Dana's last blog: A year in pictures =-.

Jena,
You are so right. All I can do is love my children and do the best I can for them through my actions and my words. I just have to trust them and trust in myself that we can build a foundation that will make them happy, loving, successful people.

This post was such a gift. I really appreciated sharing the words that your oldest son shared with you. It can be so easy to get caught up in the daily stuff and just get so overwhelmed but the big picture is so inspiring that can have me look beyond the laundry load, the “why he won’t just work on this” thoughts I am having, and then pushing myself and probably my children too much trying to do all. I am resolving to make relationships a priority, get help or lessen the load, and live my life with no regrets and I truly hope that inspire my children to do the same.
