The Importance of Setting Clear Goals

When homeschooling, it is crucial to set clear goals for what you want your children to know, do, and love. By identifying these specific goals, you can determine if you are doing enough in each area. For example, if your goal is to help your kids love Shakespeare, you may realize that reading one play and exposing them to live performances are enough to achieve that goal. Setting clear goals helps to shrink overwhelming questions about doing enough and allows you to focus on what truly matters.
