Our example can free them, so they aren't stuck with only public or private school options. Children will see us and feel free to ask their parents about homeschooling.

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Fellowship

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Fellowship
15. Homeschooling is the Gift of Fellowship It is such a gift that we can spend time with friends and neighbors! Our evenings free of homework mean we as homeschooling parents have more time to develop adult relationships and pursue our own interests. Teens benefit from this too – without homework weighing them down, they have plenty of time to socialize. But recognize that adults have more time to socialize more often, too!

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Co-socialization

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Co-socialization
11. Homeschooling is the Gift of Co-socialization Homeschooled siblings have mutual friends and mutual play dates when they are younger. As they get older, and grow into “big kid” schedules they may have mutual lab experiments, or socialize with friends together. Often families will spend more time exploring areas of interest together, rather that separately. Siblings can be a great example for each other. Instead of being in an artificial environment where every child is the...

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Sibling Bonding
10. Homeschooling is the Gift of Sibling Bonding As we monitor our children’s behavior to encourage closeness, we prevent bullying that can destroy adult sibling relationships. While their schooled counterparts think it's "not cool" to be seen with younger siblings, homeschoolers usually don't mind and often even enjoy the company of their younger siblings. In fact, you will often find siblings going out of their way, younger and older alike, to do something special for each...

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Family Harmony
9. Homeschooling is the Gift of Family Harmony All parents are a major influence in their children’s lives. But homeschool parents can spend more time gently guiding their children in matters of manners and proper behavior. We have the time to provide both correction AND positive encouragement.

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Peace
8. Homeschooling is the Gift of Peace We can choose to have peace in our lives. Although many choose to have busy schedules, at least we have the option of slowing things down when we want to or need to. Parents come to realize that homeschooling is a way of life. We can remove ourselves from the “rat race” if we want to. We can enjoy a slow start to our days. Yoga pants and pajamas...

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Closeness

The 25 Gifts of Homeschooling: The Gift of Closeness
7. Homeschooling is the Gift of Closeness Homeschooling encourages (even forces!) family closeness and time together at home. In a typical, two-income family, parents probably only get an hour or two with their children every day. Even worse, when a parent is working the night shift, they will rarely see their children at all! Homeschooling gives families a chance to spend more time together! No matter the work shift or deployment, homeschooling can increase your family...
