About
As founder and director of Kingdom Destiny Home-schooling, my background is in education. I began by teaching Sunday School, then trained as a Special Education teacher. I have worked from Prep to Year Twelve, looking after the ones who found school difficult. These children were identified in Prep before they had a chance to know they were different and dumb down, feel lost or develop unhelpful behaviours. They may have had special needs or be gifted and so we created individual programs and pathways for them which involved vocational education, traineeships, apprenticeships or gifted programs. We made sure that all children had opportunities for work experience, traineeships and apprenticeships, because an academic pathway is not for everyone. And whatever pathway they chose, learning to work and have a job is always important.
Parents are key
When I was working full time in this area, I knew that the parents of children, the most important people in a child’s life, needed support, so I began monthly group meetings for them. I also enrolled in a Masters of Counselling to better equip these parents and others. My book “Stairway to Heaven” is a comprehensive answer to what are the important aspects to consider in bringing up and educating children in today’s world.
If you are wanting to home-school but feeling overwhelmed, then help is available. I provide a course for couples considering marriage, and having a baby, mentoring to help parents get started and become confident, and counselling for the deeper issues you are concerned about.
