What happens when you allow your children to follow their interests…

Look at what my daughter, Sarah, painted yesterday…isn’t it beautiful? Â One of her friends had posted a picture on facebook of her and her horse as a silhouette…that got my daughter to thinking. Â She had an idea in her head of what she wanted to paint, and then yesterday she dove in and created it…on a small canvas she had. Â Sarah has loved learning to paint. Â She has had no formal classes or training….just hands-on experience…and look at what God can do.
I want to encourage you…especially those of you who are homeschooling…to be sure to allow your children the time to pursue their interests. Â I could have crowded our days with so much schoolwork that Sarah would not have had time to draw, paint, etc…but over the years we have included those interests as a part of our school day…giving her the time to develop those areas of interest to her. Â God has made each of our children so different and so special…and we need to take the time to get to know our children really well. Â Learn what they love, what excites them, and encourage them to pursue some of those interests.
I will share in another post another day about my bird-loving son…another example of allowing my children to pursue their interests.
