We love homeschooling. Katrina Loves school and begs to be allowed to do school work. Carter loves that he is in core phase and gets to play at learning all day. Tyler... well, that has been a struggle. He does school during school time. But he doesn't love it. He wants me to tell him when and what to do, and does the minimium. He doesn't give me grief or argue. He just wants to be directed. Him and I have talked a lot about the phases, he says he is in love of learning, and I pointed out he doesn't "love to learn."
I was listening to a seminar while getting ready today. It was about adult phases. She made a few interesting points. I've always thought I just needed to jump into my own scholar phase and have really struggled doing this. From her suggestions I realised I need to go back to core phase, get some good core phase books and soon I will be in Love of Learning and move forward from there.
She also said that in love of learning it's not about mission, it's about talents.
"Hey Ty- what are your talents?"
This started a great discussion that led to everyone making a list of their talents and things they would like to be talents.
"So how about instead of school, we work on our talents."
Out came the talking globe as one of Ty's talents is geography. Katrina went to the computer with her scriptures to listen to the audio scriptures. Listening is one of her talents. And Carter pulled out the art supplies because coloring is one of his talents.
I think we may be on to something. Developing talents not School.
