This morning I was quite surprised to
hear my son discuss how he defines school. He told me (& his
dad) that school are the subjects he is forced to do. He even
lumps art into that category when I suggest we draw during our read
aloud time.
This simply reminded me how important it
is to inspire our children to learning, instead of require learning
tasks. This past year I worked on inspiring my children. I
know there are some areas of study that Steve & I require of our
children. That's just part of being in our family.
And...I'm expanding the choices my children make about their own
studies in hopes of inspiring them in their areas of interests.
Take a minute right now and see if you are "forcing" your children to
tasks or inspiring them to lifelong learning. If you have any
ideas to inspire your children to traditional school subjects (reading,
writing, math, science, history), please leave a comment. I would
love to hear from you.
