I too have been in the throes of embracing my transitioning role as a parent. I think i spent at least a year full of latent anger towards my children...for things they did do...and things they didn't...until i had a very memorable epiphany while gardening last year. i realized in that moment I wasn't really even angry at my children...rather I was beset with fear of being left behind...fear of becoming irrelevant in their lives. It is this life transitioning that gave me a need to do an online journal...to be able to write it out...to see it in perspective.<br /><br />Sarah you write about your journey so eloquently.... I found the first part of this post difficult to read through my own tears of relating. I also can relate to the subtext in conversations when homeschooling is mentioned. My children have always had the opportunity to return to traditional school each year...each has chosen not too...for their own reasons. Now with the older two in college, my youngest has chosen this year to enroll in our neighborhood high school...ironically...I see this as the biggest gift of his years HOMESCHOOLING. He has gained confidence, independence, morality and the ability to interact successfully where ever he chooses. With no football experience...this summer he enrolled himself in their football camp...and not knowing one soul...entered the arena...of a world foreign to what he has known.<br /><br />He has since made the team, made friends and is enrolled in classes. The moral of this story ...to me ...has absolutely Nothing to do with football...and everything to do with the gifts of homeschooling. Because of homeschooling he was able to 'bake' into an individual in his own timeframe. he was able to have positive experiences and relationships where he was able to develop self confidence to choose his own path, no matter how unknown. I don't know how the year will end up for him...I just know i am proud of him for putting himself out there. So for the nay sayers whose question home schooling and the making of a man...I have two young men...who have both found there own way in the world...and all the better for it because of homeschooling. I have no doubt with you as his mother...yours will too.Tamera Beardsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855427513744644731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919469476451579082.post-25485136693012172562012-08-17T12:05:42.923-07:002012-08-17T12:05:42.923-07:00Hi Sarah,

I often tell my kids - "when an elephant walks, dogs bark" - so be an elephant - strong and gentle and be the people you are born to be. The rest is just noise. <br /><br />I think it's hard to watch them do through their struggles - God knows I was terribly unpopular and 'nerdy' as a kid but I know that the very things that made me wierd growing up make up the very essence of me now and I try to pass that message on. With you and your hubby at the helm, your kids will 'find' themselves - no doubt :)<br /><br />The squash blossoms are wonderful and I am afraid I seem to be the only one who can't seem to find them at the market. Your treatment of them is stellar!<br /><br />chow! Devaki @ weavethousandflavorsDevakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983278003605035217noreply@blogger.com
