[quote=Anonymous]For me, I'm more about 'world schooling' so I like to be out and about, and learning from our experiences. (Also I have a masters in education and trained in Reggio so I understand it doesn't necessarily come naturally). Go to museums together and have fun, check out their family events and homeschool events, go to the library regularly and participate in their events, go to the parks a lot. Read about the Reggio approach and also the book 'Montessori from the start'. At that age, I just focus on math and English in a regimented manner, and let the other areas come naturally through their interest. For example, if she really likes outer space, use that for learning about science/geography etc, go to that museum or planetarium. If the really likes animals, visit learning farms and use it to learn about science, read books on animals from other cultures, etc. You have to make sure you have plenty of sleep, exercise, and healthy food. If teachings not do you then it's okay, now you know! Remember to put your child first. We homeschool when its the best thing for our child (not just because it's a dream we once had that we must force to occur).[/quote]
