Articles on Homeschooling for parents, teachers, and other educators. "Home education, also called homeschooling or home school, is an educational alternative in which children are educated at home by their parents, in contrast to the compulsory attendance which takes place in an institution with a campus such as a public school or private school. Home education methods are similar to those widely used before the popularization of compulsory attendance requirements in the 19th century. Before this time, the majority of education worldwide was provided at home by family and community members, with only the privileged attending privately-run schools or employing tutors, the only available alternatives at the time."

Woodworking with Kids: safety When my son Andrew was five years old, he loved hanging around the shop with me. He watched the curls come off the wood as I planed a board and wanted to try it himself. I showed him how the plane blade was adjusted, demonstrated how sharp the blade was by shaving hair off my arm, and explained how the plane straightened a crooked board edge. I was reluctant to let him handle the tool because of the sharp blade, but his enthusiasm and excitement convinced me to gi
4: Understanding Patience in Pre-School Children (2.00/5)
It all begins with the child as an infant. Immediately meeting the needs of the infant positively and lovingly teaches the child to trust the caregiver adult and develop a sense of security with the people around it.

By: Dawn-Elise Snipes
As homeschool parents, there are many options for teaching our children. I have found the variety out there to actually be overwhelming, but few resources actually meet my needs.

After meeting with his teacher several times, it became clear that the school was unable/unwi
