The Hardest Lesson to Teach

The hardest lessons to teach in our homeschool experience aren't the new concepts in different subjects. No, the hardest lessons to teach is that you don't avoid certain daily assignments because they are too hard or take more time than we desire. If I allow our boys to "skip" all the longer assignments now, I'm not doing them any favors. I would be teaching them that life is always easy and you're entitled to avoid the hard stuff or that the hard stuff doesn't matter. There's also a lesson to be taught that even God has his children go through the hard stuff. It's those times we learn and grow the most. Some days are lessons are easy and some days they are hard, frustrating and take more time...so as it goes in life.
