Homeschooling: What's your approach?

Every homeschooler does it their way. What's your approach? Christian-based? Lapbooks? Online curriculums?

In today's every changing world, many parents are turning to eclectic homeschooling. But what exactly does this mean? Eclectic homeschooling allows parents to meet each child's individual learning needs. This can be especially useful with families with more than 1 child, where each child has different interests and learning styles. Families who take this approach don't stick with any one format or curriculum. They do for each child whatever works best for them.

There are also families that focus on secular homeschooling. The reason for this isn't always necessarily because they are not religious, but rather they prefer that their child be exposed to as much information as possible rather than only learning about things from one perspective, such as a Christian viewpoint which can usually be one-sided.
