  • Homeschool Reading Skills

    by Diane Noble

    Homeschooling parents often worry about their children`s reading skills because reading skills are such an important part of a person`s education. We need reading skills for far more than just getting good grades in English class. Reading skills are important for success in all subject areas. Due to this fact, homeschooling parents should also incorporate reading lessons into all subjects. For example, during a history lesson, you can ask your child to summarize the events of historical event as a way to practice their comprehension and summarizing skills. Parents should also encourage their children to read outside of what is required for school work because developing reading as a habit will do wonders for a child`s education.

    Homeschooling parents enjoy the advantage of flexibility. They are not limited by rigid curriculum, study hours, text books or any of the many limitation public school children must stick by. This helps homeschooled children fulfill their potentials as readers. Statistics show that homeschooled children often perform better on standardized reading tests than public school children. Homeschooling allows parents to incorporate reading into everyday routines. For example, you can read to your child before bed or have them read to you and that can be a part of their reading lesson for the day. Homeschooling don`t have to confine reading lessons to study hours.

    Reading as a habit is not only important for developing reading skills, but also for improving vocabulary and writing skills and establishing a child`s knowledge base. Encourage your child to read a wide range of material. Fictional stories are great for a child`s imagination, while non-fiction is important for accumulating important facts and information. Try to have your child read both fiction and non-fiction from an early age in order to develop this into a life long habit.

    One of the easiest ways to indirectly prod your children into reading is to make sure there are many interesting books lying around the house where the kids can see and reach them. Kids are curious creatures. If they see books everyday, they will eventually pick one up and leaf through it. At that point, you can jump in and give them positive attention for picking up the book and reading it. This will reinforce that behavior in the child and they will be more likely to pick up a book a second time.

    Every education must be well-rounded, but reading is a building block from which much of your child`s future education will follow. Instill a love for reading in your child from an early age and they will reap the benefits of good reading skills for the rest of their lives. No matter which path your child chooses for their future education, reading skills are bound to be an important factor in their success.

  • Homeschool Using the Charlotte Mason Method

    by Diane Noble

    Our image of homeschooling has changes drastically in the last century. When we hear the word homeschooling, we no longer see a picture of five or six children sitting a round a table scribbling away as a stern mother watches over them and lectures. Today, we have a variety of different ways to practice homeschooling that include outdoor activities, arts and crafts, sports and the use of advanced technology. The Charlotte Mason method of homeschooling certainly is not the most modern of homeschooling philosophies but it remains to be one of the most popular. In this article, I will guide you through some of milestones of the Charlotte Mason Method.

    Charlotte Mason was a passionate and innovative homeschooling mother who founded the homeschooling movement in the early 1900’s (1842-1923). She invested her life in the pursuit of improving the quality of children’s education. Her enthusiasm and commitment to homeschooling led her to lay the foundations for an effective, complete and adaptable homeschooling program that provided children with a comprehensive education while keeping it interesting. The Charlotte Mason method focuses on core subjects and places an emphasis on literature, classical music, and fine arts. Many homeschooling parents today are using her approach to teach their kids.

    One of the corner stones of the Charlotte Mason method is the use of what she calls “living books.” These types of books are to replace dry factual textbooks that school children often dread. A “living book” must be authored by someone not only knowledgeable but passionate about a subject. The author’s enthusiasm must shine through the language of the text. Mason believes this enthusiasm would then be mirrored by the students. “Living books” must also be written in conversational or narrative style. Mason looks down upon “twaddle” which she defines as books that are dumbed down for children. These types of books, she argues, not only insult a child’s intelligence but put out any passion the child may have felt for the subject.

    An important part of Mason’s program includes reading literature and narrating. Children must become proficient at narrating in their own words what they have read. The narration can be oral, written or even expressed in drawings. Narrating after reading helps to ensure comprehension. Younger children can narrate orally or through drawings but by ten years old, the child should be able to narrate a story by writing. Narration ensures that the child has synthesized the reading, organized the information in their mind and determined how best to communicate this information.

    Mason advocates the use of ‘Nature Diaries.’ After a short and interesting lesson, the child is asked to observe Nature and draw what they perceive. This helps students develop a sense of respect for the environment. Regular nature study also paves the way for meaningful science instruction. Children should be encouraged to spend a significant amount of time outdoors so they can develop a relationship with nature and a love for it. If you ask your children to start a nature diary, let them know that the diary can include prose, pictures and poetry.

    Although literature, science and math are an important part of the Charlotte Mason method, the development of good character and behavior is also essential according to this philosophy. Mason strongly believed that children must learn to govern themselves and develop an internalized discipline. Parents and teachers play an important role in this matter for they must take the responsibility of instilling good habits in their children. Some of the most important habits to develop in children are punctuality, cleanliness, respect and patience. Mason believes that each of these traits requires about four to six weeks to build into a habit. Homeschooling parents who which to follow the Charlotte Mason method should incorporate as many of these practices as they can into their homeschooling programs.

  • Potty Training Advice

    by Paul J James

    There is no shortage of potty training advice available to parents going through the process. Like all advice, though, parents need to filter what they hear through their own parenting beliefs and methods. Keeping a few fundamentals in mind makes this much easier. Be Patient

    Any advice that suggests parents “force” their child to potty train faster should be discarded. A child becomes potty trained in his own time according to his own physical and neurological development. Just like walking and talking, potty training requires a certain level of development

    Be Consistent

    This is half the battle. A child learns through repetition. If his potty training program is the same from day to day, he learns what to expect and becomes more secure. That’s not to say you can’t add a little incentive now and then, but don’t change the entire process overnight and expect him to adapt.

    The best way to ensure consistency is by having the plan well thought out before beginning and making sure others who may help your child with potty training are informed. It’s important that the same process be used at all times. Beware of any advice that would require drastic changes to his routine.

    Be Informed

    The more you understand about how a child becomes potty trained, the easier it will be for you to meet and address any obstacles you may encounter. There are many good parenting books available that address this issue. This also makes it much easier to recognize good advice when you hear it.

    Most potty training advice is given with the best of intentions. Being able to sort and sift through it to find things that will work well for you can strengthen your potty training program and make the process more enjoyable for everyone.

  • How To Have A Baby Without Pain

    by Elgin Stewart

    There are plenty of ways for infertility treatment. Some may have used the expensive in-vitro fertilization procedures. Some got their sperm from sperm donation banks, some are using other medications to treat infertility. There is one method you can used to get a baby instantly without pain and needles. Have you consider adopting a baby? I have some tips for you.

    It may not be the usual treating infertility problems, but at least it give a couple some hope to have kids and raise them to become outstanding adults. To many couples using this method, it may be viewed as the last choice after going through numerous infertility treatments after treatments. It does help kids that other do not want to be well take care and adopted by childless couples. This is destiny in the making.

    These are some of the factors to consider when contemplating adoption:

    You Will Not Experience Any Pain

    You will not experience any pain as there is not need for needles and medication, not to mention side-effects as it is painless. However, you will face some temporary emotional imbalance as you make one of the most decision when adopting this action.

    It Is Quite Expensive

    Adopting a child does have its high costs to look after. You have to do lots of paperwork, travel expenses incurred, and buy loads of babies supplies. That’s not all, you have to expect huge medical bills if your insurance policy doesn’t cover an infertility treatment.

    It is Not Simple

    You have to come to grips to accept the different traditions and cultures of the adopted child has, if they are different from yours. You have many things to considers such as holidays, names, food and clothings if you are going to preserve the baby’s heritage.

    This Method Is Not Guaranteed

    Why there is not guaranteed adoption? You current financial status might not qualify you for an adoption, or you may change your mind due to the fact the child may have disabilities, and probably some other factors.

    Try convincing yourself, kids and other fellow family members would be daunting. However, they might sympathize you with the fact you are trying very hard to conceive after numerous attempts in infertility treatment. Your loved ones may warned you that the adopted child may have difficulty in getting along with other kids and also “their” grandparents.

    You Are Being Rewarded

    It is very fulfilling and satisfying for the couple that adopted the child despite the pros and cons of adoption. Seeing the child well taken care and provided for is the most enriching experience that is difficult to measure. And there have been so many medical findings of how infertile couples have conceived soon after adoption because their minds and bodies were more at peace.
