Praying for my 11th grader to gain a fresh perspective with his studies. He is not at all overloaded, but he's feeling the pull to work more hours and earn more money to spend on his truck, etc. We only homeschool Tuesday through Friday because he works on Mondays. It's challenging because he's also recently gone through some hard times emotionally, so that has played a part in the motivation factor. He said he thinks studies is a 'waste of time'. 😔
Oh yes I have experienced the son with desire to work to spend on truck!! I know I didn’t always agree with money spending decisions but sometimes it is a lesson they have to learn. Finding a place to meet in the middles with school/work. It can be harder the senior year. My oldest finished early and was able to work his last semester😉 But he accomplished what I asked🤪 My knees where sore for praying him through ❤️
@learningwithboys7431 Thank you for listening and for sharing your experiences. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this and that there is a fellow mom and sister in Christ who understands ❤️. We're still in the Junior year, so he's still got quite a way to go, but what younger people don't always understand is how very quickly the time actually passes. I told him he needs to hang in there with me and that one day he will be glad he completed high school. And, yes, I am learning the balance of allowing him more freedoms while still being a voice of wisdom when it is needed. I could not do this without the Lord! I ask for His wisdom all the time ❤. I appreciate you so candidly sharing the joys and the struggles of Christian parenting and homeschooling. It was different with my grown daughter since she is a girl. Boys are certainly different, lol. You have a beautiful family, Rachel. You're doing a great job, and I know the Lord is leading you ❤.
