“Let Her Be the Pencil”: Abraham Hamilton III on Teaching Each Child the Way God Made Them

About this Episode

When Abe Hamilton’s wife called him in the middle of a court hearing in tears, sure their daughter would never learn to write, the solution turned out to be painter’s tape and a tile floor. Continuing his conversation with Zan Tyler, Abe explains why he sees parenthood as a “mission station,” why there’s no such thing as an unintelligent child, and how homeschooling gives parents the freedom to teach each child the way God made them to learn. He also shares how he ended up on the HSLDA board and closes with encouragement for weary homeschool parents: our ceiling can become our children’s floor.

Podcast Sponsor

At BJU Press Homeschool, we’re committed to providing children an education from a biblical worldview that is academically sound and challenges them to advance, think critically, and live like Christ. This type of education is not often possible in public schools because of the number of children taught in a classroom, a difference in worldview, and peer and societal pressure to conform. Homeschooling allows parents to instruct and disciple their children without daily fighting messages from an opposing worldview taught in the classroom. And with tuition costs and fees for private schooling or tutoring, homeschooling may be the only option for parents who are concerned for their children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
