The Early Years
Emergency Resource Starter Kit
The formative years are the most critical to a child's education. They lay the foundation
for developing learning skills that last a lifetime. For that reason, homeschooling during
those early years takes on considerable importance to parents dissatisfied with
traditional schools. Because of the unique challenges (and opportunities) of teaching the
very young child at home, author Linda Dobson offers smart solutions to help every parent
get off to the right start in this endeavor. In Homeschooling: The Early Years, parents
will learn why homeschooling makes sense for this age group, the magical difference
involved parents can make at this stage, creative ways to promote socialization among
young children, appropriate use of technology in the early years, and tailoring your
curriculum to meet your child's individual needs. |
