[quote=Anonymous]No he doesn’t need a home curriculum. Home should not also be school. What you should be doing is teaching him in a real and natural way to foster both his curiosity and understand the tangible application of math or reading. For the math, count things while you are cooking, when you cut the tomatoes, count how many pieces you made from 3 tomatoes. Throw rocks into the lake and count how many you have left after each toss, how many he has if he gives you half, or 1/3 of his rocks. As for the reading, just read, read, read to him. Talk about what you are reading. Ask his idea and opinions on what you are reading. Read signs when you are out. Do a volcano science experiment.

The goal shouldn’t be to cram as much I formation into hsi brain as you can but to create a framework for knowledge and it’s application. You want to create someone who wants to learn and explore not just a box of information. He will be both more successful, more confident and more fulfilled this way. [/quote]
