The Home Education

As a homeschooler, a Scouter and a mom I have learned over the years a very important lesson. We should learn from them. By that I mean the kids. We need to listen to their wisdom and follow their examples because they can provide something wonderful to us all.

Research shows that in an average day a child laughs 400 times, an adult, just 18. We should learn from them.

After researching for his Cub World Religions Badge my son said “I don’t know what all the fighting is about, they pretty much all believe the same things.” – We should learn from them.

On the Kids Are Heroes website there are a number of children who share their talents, compassion and their dreams of something better. We should learn from them

A young boy decides that he has too many toys and so should donate them to children in need. His idea blossomed into a charity of care. We should learn from them.

A crafty girl crusades against breast cancer with spiders, another makes blankets to bundle babies and still another designs t-shirts to sell as a fund-raiser for her charity. These kids are all putting their talents towards helping others. We should learn from them.

From shoes to songs, books to blankets and more kids are helping others, their communities and their environment. We should learn from them.

Take some time today to listen to a child, watch what they do, learn what they dream about because we can learn from them.

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.  ~Stacia Tauscher
