Living a creative inspired life is my heart for my children, a life where they think for themselves not just swallow information; a life where they explore and test and discover. This year finds three of our four children at a small school and during fragile moments I worry.
I worry that they are being institutionalized; that they are being fed information and worksheets without the discovery, the thinking for themselves.
I worry have I sacrificed them to the system because I couldn't handle the deep waters of home education.
During those times (especially), I look around and I see the little 'life corners'. Those little spots where inspiration can be found to discover, to look into, to take note, to imagine, to dream.
I might make a little 'tea-time', some yummies with tea-cups and read some poetry or have them read to me.
Home Education is a heart attitude and I remind myself that even though they now go to 'school', I am still in the little things, the details creating an atmosphere of life and education.
