Homeschooling kindergarten
Do you have a Kindergarten age child?
I bet you are excited to start homeschooling.
(I know I planned ahead BIG time.)
Not going to happen.
Okay, so you thats probably not shocking to you.
They eagerly wanted to explore and learn what would happen when a block tower was pushed down.
And then repeat their experiment.
But even if kids can do all that already they still start with Kindergarten.
So all kids have the same foundation to their education.
I mean most Kindergarten school days are half days because there really isnt that much to cover.
A foundation built on a solid relationship with you their parent, their teacher.
Focus on making learning fun and interesting.
Focus on correcting with kind words instead of yelling at them for not getting something done right or faster.
They learned to eat because they were hungry.
And except for maybe a little encouragement from you, they did it because they wanted to learn.
They were curious, they were motivated, and they wanted to learn.
So how does that work?
If you boy loves snakes why not learn about snakes.
Sure there are going to be some things they just need to learn.
But as much as possible, allow your child to pick what they are learning and set the pace.
Besides learning facts, kids will learn that books teach.
They will learn to appreciate [and even love] books the basis of most leaning!
As the year progresses kids can begin reading books to you too!

Now fast-forward to my 2nd child.
She was excited to do school and worked very well independently.
However her fine motor skills were weak.
She didnt like to color and so hadnt developed those muscles very much yet.
So when we began making letters I could tell it was going to be a struggle.
The muscles started developing and after several months she started making more recognizable letters and pictures.
Welll…….she wasnt forming her letters or number correctly.
And it began to show when she had trouble with future letters or writing more.
