I took these notes from their audio seminar entitled, A Less Hurried Approach to Homeschooling.
In the early years give your children the following
- Brain-appropriate challenges
Focus on self-management and self-control
Do not focus on force-feeding academics
They need foundational things like:
- Honoring God and parents
- Developing the capacity for language
- Appetite for learning
- Encouraging creativity
- Developing the memory
- Work and service
Academics need to built on a foundation of moral character
Build a larger store of categories of thought
Don't focus too much on academics first
They need to develop:
- proper behavior
- moral outlook
- service for others
- household management chores
Focus on special projects. These promote diligence, perseverance, attention to detail and the like.
Instill a love of learning!
The best quote!
"If you build too hastily on the building, skimping on the foundation, the building may sag and lean and parts may fall, as the foundation sinks or crumbles underneath it."
-- Harvey Bluedorn
