Tips For Teaching Your Child At Home

-


Homeschooling for some of us can be a very daunting thought. As we embark on the real possibility that many parents across the globe will need to embrace the fact that they will soon become their child's teacher in their own classroom, I thought it would be negligent of me to not offer some safe, nurturing advice.

Your Inner Child

Do you remember what your favourite thing to do was when you were little? Perhaps you loved to ride your bike up and down the drive-way, or build a fort. Maybe you loved to play dress up's and be a superhero. 
For me, I have very fond memories of putting on my roller-blades, and scooting around our backyard. And getting creative by playing 'shops' with my brother in the backroom. I remember dancing and feeling free. Choreographing my own little routines and putting on the costumes that mum had spent many, many hours stitching and sequencing. We also had a really big blackboard that dad nailed to the fence under the carport verandah. It is with this special memory that I suppose I can connect who I am today to my past.

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
2020 has been derailed from the get go. Firstly by ravishing bushfires during our Australian summer, followed shortly after by the devastating onset of COVID-19. It's definitely difficult to see the trees through the forest, or the light at the end of the tunnel right now, when our days are all very much consumed with an overloaded work schedule, and daily breaking news updates that continue to heighten our confusion and frustration all at the same time.
And I speak of this from the perspective of a well-rounded, educated adult. (Well at least that's how I would like to think of myself!) Imagine how our young people must be feeling? 
Yes, I completely agree with the real fact that children / young people are far more resilient than what we give them credit for. However the craziness of the reality that we are all living is most certainly taking its toll. And quite frankly, I say this …
