If that was the qualification to become a teacher, I don’t think we’ll ever
have enough of them. I don’t think anyone will even pass the criteria.
Everyone
has some level of impatience that really need to be addressed anyway. Now is
the best time to deal with it.
Yes, I’ve shouted. Yes, I lost my temper countless times and yes, my
children have seen their own mom humble before them to apologize countless
times.
I think, even without homeschooling
your children your patience will be tested.
My approach is to deal with this monster called “impatience” and ask God to
transform me. Whether I homeschool or not, it's still bound to come out so might as well deal with the attitude. This way, the student is no longer my children – but me.
Everyday, I come to God and ask him for these things:
First, that He will be Lord of my life and my homeschool.
Second, that the Holy Spirit will empower me to do what I have to do.
Third, that he will give me the communication, teaching and nurturing skill to
be able to Homeschool.
