We took our children's education very seriously, and were always involved in their educational efforts. I think that among our five children, we have seen almost every educational approach. We have had children in traditional public schools, charter schools, vocational programs, colleges and universities and a homeschooling situation. Every child has specific needs, and working as parents to make their educational activities as productive and meaningful as possible is a worthy effort.
I have a lot of respect for those who choose to homeschool their children. One of our children needed some specific attention that he could not get in the public school environment, and we opted for a time to homeschool him part days. It served his needs well and he is a very dedicated and successful student today.
If you have decided that homeschooling is the best model for educating your children, it is time to make decisions and take actions to make homeschooling an amazing choice for your children. Learn what fathers can do to enhance the homeschooling experience.

Holidays seem to be times when our feelings can be pretty close to the surface. It can be particularly hard when families are not together or when long standing traditions don't work any more because the family is separated.
