The homeschool movement promoted the idea of fostering a love of learning, and yet, many homeschool moms have not found this. Instead of inspiring their children to love exploration, discovery and learning, all of which homeschool should foster, moms find their children fighting them to “do school.” Its very design enables learning to be experienced in a way no institutional school can provide. So why is it not the case in many homeschools? We’ve believed and adopted some ideas that are not true and that kill inspiration and the love of learning. Join me as we talk about helping our children love to learn.
