Relationships

There are a lot of good ways to educate your kids. Public school, private school, homeschool. Most kids turn out well.

But for our family, one of the side benefits of homeschooling has been the relationships.

Relationships are so hard. I spend a lot of time coaching my kids on how to be kind and encouraging. . . how to communicate and ask forgiveness. . . how to work together. The process isn't usually pretty.

But yesterday, when I didn't feel well, Julia jumped in and helped Wenxin with his schoolwork. And he let her help him with his schoolwork.

I had to grab my camera.
