Has this ever happened to any home schoolers? If so, what do you do about it?

If your home schooled kids question your religion, you are doing a great job of teaching them critical thinking skills. Pat yourself on the back.

But that's not really the purpose of home schooling.

Default What If Your Home-Schooled Kids Question Your Religion?

I'd be overjoyed to be raising and teaching kids who are curious and open enough to question beliefs of all sorts.

That doesn't usually happen until they move out of the house.

Critical thinking is a very IMPORTANT skill to develop, just because your kids have developped the abilities to anaylse what is presented to them, and look at it from many angles, doesn't mean you should be worry. I would also teach about run on sentences (above, my last sentence), is important too

I would be disappointed if my kids didn't at one time question religion. It is normal and healthy to have questions. And shows they have a good mind. God doesn't mind questions at all. In fact he's pretty open to them.

So you talk to him regularly or just weekend parties. Next time you see him ask who he's betting on for the World Cup.

Think about this: what if I home-school my kids but I am not a religious person, and then my kids ask me about religion? If you can figure an answer for this situation, you could certainly figure an answer for the original question (below):

Hopefully you would tell them it's a scam.
