Instilling a Love of Learning

Recently we've switched over from a mainly textbook teaching style to a more classical style of homeschooling. My kids and I are having a great time. It has helped me to appreciate my children more and to be confident in teaching them as the Lord has called me to do. My goal is no longer to 'get it done'. I have learned to take the time to nurture my children's interests. I now desire to instill a love of learning in my children's hearts. That's something they will carry on for a lifetime.

So many days I have that "get it done" mindset. I really need to work on that myself. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

I'd love to hear more about how you're instilling a love of learning! I feel I've read all the "right" books books on the subject but something gets lost in translation as I try to get through the subjects with my children.

I love the photo you've chosen for your blog!
