Abbie Knott | BJU Press Homeschool Can Save Your Sanity | Ep. 042

In part 2 of “When Homeschooling Is Hard,” Nancy and Zan emphasize the importance of vision—remember that your children are a gift from God and it is a privilege to raise them for His glory. The beauty of homeschooling is the flexibility it allows and the togetherness it promotes—whether it is working in the kitchen together, doing volunteer work together, or playing and studying together. Letting your children have time to create, explore, build, imagine, and play outdoors all contribute to academic success. Persevere and remember that God is faithful! He fills in the gaps, blesses our work, opens doors for our children, and constantly cares for us.
