Homeschooling can develop some fantastic kids but as a parent, I need to develop characteristics in my child to build an amazing adult. As a boy, he needs healthy risk: to test his limits and safe adventure. He should be trustworthy, to be responsible, should expect respect, and know how to show respect. He needs to be kind. And why you should put others first. What are the traits you are teaching in your homeschool?

Letter T
Character traits are something that should be ingrained in parenting—the how to raise decent little humans. Teaching your child to be kind starts with you. Your little people are watching how you interact with others. Do what you want to see in your kids and they will follow. Do the random acts of kindness that make you smile when someone else does it.
The letter T is the twentieth letter of the alphabet. Aiden picks top, train, and tree when he’s asked for T words.
A t sounds like tua.
Activities and ideas:
- Climb a tree
- Track animal footprints. Try to figure out what you are following.
- Shadow tracing. Set up toys and other objects and trace the shapes on paper. Do it a few different times in the same day.

As a homeschooling mom, I know one of the homeschool essentials is a good-quality printer with cheap ink. Make sure you look at the cost of the ink before you buy. The printer price isn’t the price to worry about. We have an old one we bought about 10 years ago. Totally worth it. It doesn’t even have to have both print cartilages to print.
