Mondays on Mothering: Forever Young

Posted by Speaking from the Heart at Monday, November 03, 2008

One advantage of homeschooling is I can prolong Minnie's childhood. If my fifth grader was in a public school, her days playing with Webkinz, dolls, dressing up, etc. would probably be over. She probably would be interested in boys, and would know more about the world, than I care for her to. Thank you Lord, for allowing my daughter to enjoy her childhood for another day.

It is such a joy to see the girls using their imaginations.

   I am right there with you, let them stay little as long as they want to . . . my girls love spy things & nancey too.

   I agree-it is so much easier for kids to have a childhood when they are homeschooled and not pushed to grow up to fast. : )
   Minnie looks very stylish as Nancy Drew.

   I completely agree! My son would be considered behind by the world's standards! What is wrong with a child maturing at his or her own rate? They lose their innocence fast enough!

   What a fun game. My husband is always asking me if it is "normal" for kids to act out the books they read when they play legos, dolls, dress-up, and trains. I always say -- only among homeschoolers :).
   
   Thanks for joining us this week.
