Thanks for stopping by BJ's Homeschool!
The hardest thing about homeschooling a teen, for me, is trying to merge her subjects/schedule/methods with my (significantly) younger child's. The best thing is I get to see her emerging talents/personality/style developing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Amy. I loved watching my teen grow and begin to find her gifts during high school. And it was fun to watch her try new high school activities, too.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest thing is finding enough time to get all the learning in. As the kids have gotten older, it takes several hours to get everything accomplished. Plus, incorporating hands on learning/experiments is tough too! The best thing is being with the kids every step of the way and seeing them revel in their accomplishments!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to that, Miranda W. And thanks for sharing! Now that my teen is a young adult, who graduated from college already, I am still enjoying watching her take each new step. And see how homeschooling has helped her in each step in her life, along the way. It is very rewarding to see that!
DeleteThe hardest part about homeschooling my teen is learning the material she is. I don’t remember doing a lot of this when I was in high school.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing is that my daughter is an independent learner, so I don’t have to sit and teach anymore.
I agree, I think the high schoolers have so much more on their place now, compared to how it was for us, during the high school years. Nice that your daughter has become an independent learner, cupcakelakin!
DeleteThe hardest part about homeschooling is getting him interested in doing it. We have only been homeschooling forn3 years now. Up till then he was in public school. He is angry i switched him. The best part is, i only have 1 more summer with him. I want to spend as much time as we can together before he goes tonjoin the military.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest part is getting him to actually do the work. Right now he is angry that i took him out of public school 3 years ago. The best part is getting to spend all the time we can together before he leaves for the military next year.
ReplyDeleteSoak up that time and make as many good memories as you can, mmknauff. That is what we did, and it has also been so wonderful watching our daughter grow after high school, into the young woman that she was meant to be. You must be so proud he is going into the military.
DeleteHardest thing is definitely attitude!
ReplyDeleteI am with you on that, Christi B! Thanks for stopping by,
