Dr. Timothy said in his contribution to Dr. Lai’s book:

“It is essential for children to acquire future skills, including critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity, to succeed in today's fast-paced world. Homeschooling provides a distinctive setting for effectively nurturing these skills. The main advantage of homeschooling is its inherent flexibility. This enables individualised educational experiences customised to a child's specific interests, promoting the development of analytical thinking and the ability to solve problems. Homeschooling fosters creativity by offering a flexible curriculum. Parents could incorporate art and hands-on projects into their child's activities, which promotes innovative thinking and self-expression. It enables children to investigate novel concepts and cultivate distinctive resolutions. Homeschooling also enables children to develop a mindset of continuous learning, providing them with the necessary abilities to succeed in a constantly changing environment and unpredictable future. So, homeschooling offers a dynamic and flexible approach to education that effectively nurtures future skills. ”
