Summary

Over the next three days, I’ll drive my eldest child to her first day of college. As I anticipate the miles of open road before us, the lane lines guiding the way to a brand-new journey eager to unfold, I also reflect deeply on how I got here, how she got here, and how my family got here.

At the crux of this story is one of the scariest decisions my wife and I ever made—a decision made by only about 3% of Americans: to homeschool our children.

What led us to assume a task as momentous as educating all three of our children? What were our most significant challenges and barriers? And, perhaps most importantly, what did our children experience before and after this decision?

These are the questions I want to answer for parents who are considering homeschooling their children or actively doing so; through firsthand experience, I truly understand the stress both situations can create. But I’ve also learned several powerful and practical principles worth sharing. So, I’ve decided to sit down, put pen to paper, and do just that.
