I think God led me here on purpose. I’m searching for the right way & the right program for my kids & stumble along to your article. This is exactly how I homeschool my kids. I homeschool this way & have been told I’m nuts & that I should be careful. Yet my kids all are very happy, score extremely well on national tests, and they love homeschooling. I’m going to take this (sidetrack) as a wink from the Lord to keep doing exactly what I’ve been doing. Trusting in the Lord that he called me to homeschool in the first place & trust He’ll guide me through. He is faithful to not misguide us …. and He also knows for me to teach any other way for now wouldn’t work.

I just discovered your site. Wonderful! I love it. I have a dozen questions, many of which I am finding answers to on your site. But one I must ask you. You say you have been homeschooling 20 years, yet your delight-directed school day is with your 6 and 7yos. I have homeschooled just 19 years, and I have 4 and 5yo boys. I love to spend my mornings with them the same way! My question is what are your older students doing that you can spend all morning with the little guys? The days I do this we have a great time, but I am not getting in some of the other things I need to do with my older students. I would love to see how you actually schedule your week. Do you do the boys some days and not others? I just have to confess that delight-directed mornings are much more fun than writing workshop, or spelling, or even a group time that I have not planned well… Just being honest. What does balance look like at your house? Sorry, not many moms I know have the dynamic with the olders and eager youngers. (Three graduated, 17yod, 15yos, 13yod then my little guys, 4 and almost 6.)
May the Lord bless you exceedingly!

Wow! Our home educated children are all grown with advanced degrees. As I see the sample of your day, I want to do it all again! How exciting for your sons to have such great experiences at their ages. You are a wonderful blessing to all of us.
