Most homeschooling parents want to develop the full personality of their children that is intellectually, emotionally, social, physical and ethical.
Intellectually parents can choose the curriculum which suits the child's learning style and interest. In the homeschool environment the pace of learning can also be adjusted.
Emotionally a child feels secure within the relationship with their parent and as the parent knows the child they will be able to guide their emotional development and IQ.

Parents can choose the curriculum which aligns with their values, informally transferring ethical values while learning.
