Dad's Homeschool

I just found the HomeSchool Village and their topic struck me.  When I started homeschooling I often wondered how this would impact on my husband's interaction with the children.  They spend more and more time with me which hopefully is not a bad thing.

However, my husband has found a way to stay connected and involved.  He takes our son to the YMCA on most days.  This allows my son the opportunity to get some serious play and exercise time.  Did I mention before that we have very high energy boys?  So the physical component of our day is crucial.  If my sons do not get physical activity there are serious consequences.  My husband tries to take them for bike rides, parks and the YMCA on a regular basis to make sure they get what they need.  This is a valuable part of their homeschooling day!

  1. Your post reminded me of another thing that my dh contributes to our homeschool. He'll often bike and go on walks with my dc (sometimes I'll join in). Loved reading your post.

  5. You are blessed. I often wish my husband were around more during the week (my girls barely see him Mon-Fri) but of the weekends he gives them every ounce of his energy.

  6. I live around the border of Scarborough and Don Mills, but we might be moving to the west end sometime next year. It is definitely nice to meet you. What homeschooling group are you part of, if any?

  7. My son looks to my husband to learn and share. I love that.
