Many times it is us, moms, who are doing the main bulk of homeschooling but without the full and complete support of dad, homeschooling is going to fall flat on its face eventually.

I remember the day when the Lord spoke to me concerning this issue when I was debating whether to homeschool or not. Through an email newsletter, God told me in no uncertain terms that without the full endorsement of the head of the house, one shouldn’t proceed to homeschool.

Fathers are so important in this journey of homeschooling. Do not leave your dh out as you make your curriculum choices and do update him on the progress (or non-progress!) of homeschooling.

This month, in honour of homeschooling fathers, Heart of the Matter features an article on The Homeschooling Father by Michael Farris. Check it out. And may you be blessed as you continue to teach your children.

The Homeschooling Father

By Michael Farris
Founder and Chairman, Home School Legal Defense Association

Parents do not need professional training to become excellent homeschool instructors. But they do need divine empowerment if they are going to have the stick-to-it-iveness necessary to keep to the task as their children progress from toddler to adult. Every homeschooling father needs to begin to examine his duty to his wife and children by considering their need for spiritual empowerment. They are going to be mocked by friends, neighbors and relatives. They may be prosecuted by authorities. They are going to face spiritual warfare. They are going to have to do a lot of plain old hard work.
