Our family chose homeschooling not only for the educational benefits, but because we want to be able to instill good values and morals into our children. When they are close to us every day we have many opportunities to train them and help them with areas they may struggle in.
Character training is especially important as they are young. When you are by their side all the time you can see areas that they may struggle in such as impatience, selfishness, whining etc… you can redirect them and point them to the scriptures to help them.
A great way to do this is by the use of character charts. When our children were small we hung up a character chart or behavior chart on a bulletin board. We would look at it each day during Bible time and we would discuss a trait they needed to personally work on that week.
I have rounded up some character charts and other character resources that I hope will bless you in your homeschool:
