Share on Facebook Share Share on Pinterest Pin it Share on TwitterTweet Send To Devices Send What if by the time you finish teaching your kids… They are kind. They are confident. They look people in the eye when spoken to. They befriend the new kids. What if: They put down their phone when others are in the room. They are strong and hard working. They know how to cook, chop wood and change the oil on a car. They are compassionate and caring. They LOVE to read and devour the written word. They never text and drive What if: They hunt down information when their interests are piqued. They can balance their checkbook and manage a budget. They can break down a project into a workable timeline. They can manage a calendar. They can create powerpoint presentations and present their ideas to a group.

They can measure accurately using various tools. They can take a disappointment in stride. They lose with dignity and win with humility. Follow me on YouTube What if: They pass on compliments (…”my dad taught me that”) They can manage their own small business, like lawn care. They put things back where they found them. They acknowledge that a great team is worth its weight in gold. They master the art of harmony– working together blending talents and abilities for the greater good. Related: Magnet reminder just for you. What if: They are self-sacrificing of their time. They are dependable in a time of need. They do not whine: when folding laundry, going on a million errands or picking up dog poop. They are experts at something: art, music, design, gardening, physical fitness, writing, programming, etc. What if: They can write legibly. They visit people in real life, talk to them in person on the phone, and text only when necessary. They value life and place the highest value on loving God and others. They are informed and involved in their community. They open doors for ladies, stand in the presence of their elders, and play with small children. What if: They rejoice when others succeed. They run to do the right thing, even though they might be afraid. They know that there are only two kinds of information: things they already know and things they can learn. They are not afraid of learning hard things. They know the difference between needs and wants. They refuse to live in debt, but instead work hard and save. They are the first to volunteer and the last to leave when work needs to be done. What if… They still love Jesus What if… Print this free homeschool mom reminder.
