The Brave Homeschooling Parent

Being a parent takes bravery, and a homeschooling parent is a perfect example of this. We’re pretty brave just to make the decision to homeschool in the first place, but then we add an additional layer of courage as we allow our children to experiment. Experimentation is a fantastic way to learn. It’s how all the great inventors accomplished the things they did. Can you imagine if Thomas Edison’s mother had forbidden him to play with electrical sparks? No significant amount of progress is made without some element of risk, and no real discovery is ever made without stepping into … Continue reading →

Learning About Myself: Ideas for Young Students

There’s no history more interesting than that of your own family, and to small children, very few people are as interesting as the person that they are getting to know best: themselves. Whether you’re working in a homeschool co-op, a guiding group, or simply with your own young children, creating art and stories that reflect young children’s understanding of their own lives can be fascinating. It can also be a good introduction to exploring the lives of other children around the world. My daughter loves to create books. Each year, we make a book together that reflects her experiences of … Continue reading →

Ideas From Outside

One of the things you should really take into account the next time you’re having issues with a project or paper you’re working on is how directly related the information you’re seeking is to the topic at hand. Oftentimes we, as students, try to very clearly focus on the topic at hand. Sometimes we go too far in our one-minded, single-focus attempt to “write” a paper. There is a useful analogy (and, for another “A” word, it’s analogue): the library. I’m fairly young, but one of the complaints I hear from many people much older than I about student writing … Continue reading →
