Moms come up to me and ask, “Bo, sometimes, I don’t know my son anymore. He has terrible moods and he’s not even a teenager. ”

And I’d ask, “How much time do you spend with them?”

“That’s the problem, Bo. I don’t get to spend as much time with them as I want. He’s got school.”

“Spend time with your son. Play with him, laugh with him, have fun with him, talk to him. How else do you expect to get to know him?

“Bo, you’re not listening. He has school. Are you saying I shouldn’t send him to school?”

“Yes, you don’t have to.”

You might say, “But, I don’t know anything about homeschooling.”

That’s why we have CFAH’s Homeschool Discovery. Here you will discover the beauty of the alternative to classroom-type of learning. You will hear testimonials from moms and dads who either homeschooled their children and are still with CFAH as Parent Coaches or are still in their homeschooling journey and loving it.

I mentioned education earlier and while I think it’s good, the pursuit of learning is better, if not the best. I think the best fruit of homeschooling is teaching the child to be curious, to ask questions, to investigate while having fun. Teach the child the joy of learning because it’s a lifelong process. It’s not something that’s over and done with once you graduate from college.

I know you may have doubts in mind. You probably have many other questions and a million other concerns and worries. But let me tell you this:

Yes, you read that right.

Marowe and I decided that the best teachers for our sons – Bene and Francis – would be us, their parents. Not because we graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University or the like. But because we think we’re the best people to teach them about values. Who could best teach them the values we care about, if not us, their mom and dad?

Ask my wife and she’ll tell you, no.

Did we have doubts along the way? Of course, yes.

But we continued despite that and are now reaping the rewards.

Because of the time we spent with our children, teaching them and learning from them as well, while having fun, we know them very well and they know themselves very well too. They discovered their interests and passions (and are still discovering them along the way) and are pursuing them.
