The Baby Is the Lesson: A Homeschool Perspective That Changes Everything

Feeling discouraged about homeschooling with a baby or toddler underfoot? You’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong. In this beautifully written post, Diane Hopkins shares the powerful mindset shift that changed everything: "The baby IS the lesson." What if your children’s most lasting education isn’t in the workbook—but in watching you love, serve, and value each child in the thick of real life?

This post is full of wisdom, including insights like:

• Your example is the real curriculum: Children learn Christlike character—patience, sacrifice, empathy—by watching how you respond to daily challenges, especially interruptions.
• Children grow best when involved in real life: Journal writing, gardening, home care, and even letter writing are meaningful parts of education—not distractions from it.

If you need encouragement for homeschooling in the trenches, this one’s worth your time.
