Home School Mothers Contribute To The Welfare Of Our Nation
King Solomon said, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6.
Motherhood is not only professional, but it is also the highest calling on earth. Who is better to be the academic advisor to our nation’s youth than the mother? What better setting for teaching life’s important facts and skills as well as imparting academic knowledge than the home? Here the home schooled child can relax in a loving family atmosphere and free his mind from peer pressure and anxiety about required grades and achievements expected by traditional school teachers. He has the advantage of learning and achieving at his own pace and with his own style of learning.
A child in a homeschool atmosphere of learning, providing the mother is not traditional-school-minded or a perfectionist has the advantage of learning life skills to become a better person.
The home schooled child having more liberty for individual thinking, can evolve into a caring, honest person who is not as likely to be influenced by external forces or become dependent on others. He has his own reserve and resource of guidance in life’s perplexities. This is a great contribution to society in general.
Along with his academic achievements he has a better chance of acquiring useful life skills such as responsibility, being congenial and cooperative with others and showing kindness toward others and toward animals. His chances of learning self discipline and developing listening skills are enhanced. More importantly, he is more likely to have a proper attitude toward authority and toward God.
Thus, it can be said that mothers who home school their children and heed King Solomon’s advice contribute much to the welfare of our nation.
