Today, as I homeschooled, Wolf and I were discussing his studies and he told me of a tweak in his assignment he felt that he would benefit from...
As I listened to him, my thoughts went a bit to the wayside,
"he's getting so big,
growing up so fast...
will he go through a rebellious stage?
Will he become too difficult to homeschool one day?
He's so respectful and obedient
and tenderhearted...
I can't imagine losing what we have now.
His voice is so deep..."
I appreciated and respected his input, and told him so. I valued that he had put thought into how he could get more from his studies.
After discussing it, we agreed to the adjustment and I let him know that eventually he would have more and more of the responsibility for his studies. He let me know he wasn't ready for that just yet.
I'm so proud of him.
