Doubting your ability to homeschool?

We have tried so many difficult things in life, and when we look back, we feel a sense of accomplishment and thankfulness to Allah because He made so many things happen for us, and with relative ease. 

We have moved from our home countries to foreign countries and established a better life for ourselves.

We learned a foreign language and were able to thrive in an environment that was completely alien to us. 

We went through college, studied the hardest courses, and were able to attain the degree we wanted.

Accomplishment after accomplishment, we have been able to always push the bar.

Unfortunately when people are considering homeschooling their children, they come up with false hurdles in their path. 

Even though they are more than qualified to teach elementary grade classes with their post graduate degrees, they still doubt themselves and their ability to educate their child.

One of the biggest holdbacks parents have is:

“I Can’t Homeschool Because I don’t have the patience for it.”

While that may be true, your patience will only grow as you put yourself through tougher and tougher situations.

Didn’t you have patience when you were moving to another country forever?

Didn’t you have patience when you studied your butt off to get that degree?

Didn’t you have patience while you were pregnant?

Didn’t you have patience while you were giving birth?

Parents go through so much before the child is even born, and although it gets harder, it also gets more rewarding.

Both in this life and the next.

Seeing your child struggle through problems and then finally “figure it out,” is a moment of joy for both of you.

A moment you can share together.

Remember, when you ask Allah to make you patient, He can’t just “give” you patience.

He has to put you through situations where your ability to be patient can manifest!
