"And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. ~Genesis 2: 8, 9, 15

Why he needs to homeschool

"But what if I miss out?"

"I have to do everything."

It pains me to hear my child echoing my fears. To know that he will have to someday overcome them like I am in the process of doing. And yet, it gives me comfort to know that many of the trials I have overcome were, like his, products of being raised by imperfect parents.

That is why I'm choosing to homeschool him. To give us both a chance to let go of the fear and just focus on being present.
