Each of the subcategories listed below tells the story of how we are
actively engaging with our children when it comes to their own
education. We are applying these "homemade teaching tactics" in addition to
following their homeschooling curriculum.
My husband and I decided to homeschool our 2 children for the school year 2012 - 2013, hoping to ease into the transition following the grand entrance of Baby 3.0 into this world. For the first time in my life, I get to be a stay-at-home mom and housewife, though it may only be as short as one year.
Homeschooling certainly isn't easy, but it can also be very enlightening (and eventually rewarding) at the same time. From what we have been experiencing, we as parents get to be more deeply involved in our children's education, firsthand. We get to learn about our children's thought process and how they arrive at their answers. We get to teach them in nontraditional ways in nontraditional settings, hopefully giving them a sneak peak of what life and the real world really are all about. No sugarcoating, no spoonfeeding; we are teaching them how to survive and hopefully thrive. We seek to raise more creators vs. consumers, more givers vs. takers, and we seek to develop 10 specific qualities in our children as we go along.
