There are about as many ways to teach children the important skills and mental tools needed for navigating through life as there are children! I have developed new and successful ways of teaching my children subjects such as math, reading and writing, and have explored many new approaches to use during times of learning. My methods are concept-instilling and lively, in real-learning ways.
I chose to tailor-make the educational experience to fit the needs of each child, while keeping it cost-effective. I hope that some of what is presented here will give you renewed energy, bring joy to your times of teaching, and suit the needs of your children. A good rule of thumb to follow: if your ways of teaching and the materials you’re using allow your children to develop into who and what they were created to be, then it is on target.)
