- I actually know my children and vice-versa…Instead of spending the morning saying “hurry up”, we spend the first hour of our day chatting, playing games, doing religious studies, etc TOGETHER.
- They get to learn and practice life skills all day long. The microwave, toaster oven, tea-maker and other small appliances are not off limits in our house. They also are practicing vacuuming, making their own beds and keeping their own bathroom sinks clean to name a few.
- My kids actually REALLY enjoy being around each other.
- Recess can be as long as we want it to be. If we are enjoying a volleyball game outside, then so be it…there is no whistle blown.
- My kids get to stay kids longer…let’s be real, the uncharacteristic girls fashion, introduction to makeup and all the street slang is kept out of our house and i love it!
- No need to worry about bullying, random acts of violence or bomb threats.
- There are less illnesses. Thank you God!
- We get to learn in different ways, one of my children has a photographic memory and another needs to hear everything.
- No school traffic. I actually plan our days around this nuisance especially because our house is surrounded by an elementary, middle and high school.
- Individuality is embraced. We celebrate our similarities and our differences.
This Beautiful Life of Ours
