The secret to their success

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character is in their own hands."  Anne Frank

This quote sums up what I truly believe about parenting and homeschooling.  Homeschooling is about giving our kids the best opportunity to succeed, but the ultimate responsibility for that success will be on their shoulders.

I would add of course, that parents can do more than give good advice, we can pray for God's will in their lives and speak the Word over them--which does influence the outcome! But, even with our spiritual influence, they will choose their paths and be accountable to God for those choices.
