Welcome to Homeschool Life Situations
I hope to share some practical tips and encouragement for teaching in difficult situations. I have taught children who have struggled with learning. During most of the time that I have homeschooled I have lived on a limited budget.
Yes, homeschooling can be difficult. Sometimes our children have difficulty learning. Other times we feel inadequate to teach our children at home. I want to give you some tips and encouragement.
Tips that You can Use
Do you need some ideas for teaching math, language arts, or science? I will share teaching tips I have used with my own children. Some ides I have picked up teaching children with special needs.
Even if your child does not struggle with learning you might find a fun activity that he would enjoy.
Sometimes we don't teach at home because of the time we think that it takes. Homeschooling should only take a couple of hours when you write a daily schedule.
It is also important to organize. When you have a place for everything and everything is in its place you can save time.
Organizing can also save you money. I have bought notebooks when I could not find any in the house. Then later cleaned out a closet only to find notebooks.
Also get your children involved in chores. You should not be responsible for washing the dishes, feeding the pet, sweeping the floor, and teaching school. Let your children help with the chores. They need to have some responsibility.
What will you do with all of the time you save scheduling and organizing? You will have time for socialization. You will be able to go out into the community to volunteer your time at food banks and retirement homes. You will also have time for fun
Encouragement
I know that at times we want to quit. Life can be difficult. I want to be able to stand by you and tell you to continue.
I know that living on one income can be hard. I want to help you find ways to save on the family budget, so that there is money for schooling. There are ways to cut homeschooling cost. I will show you where you can obtain cheap curriculum and free resources.
I also want to encourage you to teach your children with special needs at home. Through the years I have learned techniques that would be helpful in teaching children with dyslexia and autism.
I know that teaching children with disabilities can be hard. My own children were slow to learn. I have also worked in a public school teaching children who have autism. I want to encourage you to continue to home school your child even when times are tough.
Most of all I want to encourage you to turn to God. For me God is the center of everything I do. We will look at teaching from a Christian prospective.
I hope that you find some practical tips and encouragement at homeschool life situations.
