EDUCATIONAL GOALS FOR THE WHOLE CHILD

A friend shared the link to the SIMPLE HOME SCHOOL website with an article called EDUCATIONAL GOALS FOR THE WHOLE CHILD.  You can read it here - http://simplehomeschool.net/educational-goals-for-the-whole-child/

It is a great reminder that the education that we give our children will need to help them in THEIR life, that they are not an extension of us (parents), but they will go on into their own adult lives, make their own choices (good and bad), mistakes and such.

The author encourages us to write down a list of lesson and skills that will serve to enlarge their life. I like the list she has put together, I am pretty sure mine will be very similar.  :o)
