Chesca Kramer has always been open about the topic of homeschool, and recently, she took to Instagram to share the number of reasons why she favors this kind of learning for her kids Kendra, Scarlett, and Gavin.

In a lengthy post, the mom of three said that homeschooling is a good way to build academics and her personal relationship with her kids.

She wrote: "Homeschooling is more than just academics, it's really winning my child's heart and building their character."

Chesca confessed that she used to be focused so much on her kids' academic excellence and "getting them to finish their task and making sure that they get everything right instantly." But then she realized that character-building should be given more emphasis.

“The way we perceive and deal with people tells so much about our hearts. The more I focused on their character, the more I saw them stepping up and giving their best. It is not always perfect but, I see their accountability in everything that they do.”

Chesca went on to cite the significant developments she started to see in Kendra, Scarlett, and Gavin.

Homeschooling is more than just academics, it's really winning my child's heart and building their character. . I used to be so focused on getting them to finish their task and making sure that they get everything right instantly. My goal was for them to excel academically. . But, I realized soon after, that character building is even more important. The way we perceive and deal with people tells so much about our hearts. . The more I focused on their character, the more I saw them stepping up and giving their best. It is not always perfect but, I see their accountability in everything that they do. . The more time we spend together, the more time we have in addressing their feelings and thoughts. They get to share what is important to them and for us parents as well- from there we agree on a common goal. . What never fails with my kids no matter how hard the task is - is a parent with a praising and encouraging character. When we praise/encourage them, it fuels them to keep trying and keep going. . This is what I learned from homeschool... More than hard hard work it is heart work! ❤️ : Sharing this beautiful poem. : "Sow a thought you reap an act; Sow an act, you reap a habit; sow a habit; you reap a character; sow a character, you reap a destiny." - Samuel Smiles
