Surveys and other studies have reported that the sacrifice is paying off for homeschooled families because many of these kids, who are now rising Millenials, are sticking to their faith and beliefs.
"Having a strong relationship with the child's mother and father, attending church as a child, and years homeschooled were all clearly positively associated with Millennials' basic Christian orthodoxy, broader biblical beliefs, Christian behaviors (e.g., attending church, keeping sex in marriage, prayer, not using pornography), satisfaction in life, civic and community involvement, and having beliefs similar to one's parents," said researcher Dr. Brian Ray, according to the Christian NewsWire.
Many believe that the commitment to homeschooling is the driving force behind it all. While teenagers experience a challenging time during puberty, the absence of the bittersweet school conflict drastically helps to improve a child’s school performance and emotional well being.
Since faith is reinforced in the home as an everyday staple and way of life, the children are embedding that into their own lives and making their structure for the future concrete with faith in mind. Overall, homeschooled children are able to distinguish the profound difference of having faith as an element that influences everything rather than as a separate entity.
