Homeschool - staying connected




The world has become a jungle of knowledge. Wherever you turn, you



find a new fruit that just has to be passed on to your child. In



the middle of all the knowledge flying to and fro, we sometimes



forget to talk and relax with our children. A mom who doubles as a



teacher needs to leave the teacher behind and simply become mom



for a few hours everyday.





Listen to your child. Do not just hear the words, but notice the



emotion too. Many children find it difficult to express exactly



what they want. Talk to your child about general stuff and allow



him to be 'just a kid'. When you talk to your child, as for his



opinions. Few things please him more. It also adds kilos to his



self-confidence.





Most parents interrupt when their children talk. We, as adults,



detest it when someone cuts across our lines. Kids keep mum



because they are forced to be silent when we shut them up. But



this is unhealthy and unfair. Allow your child to finish and then



express your views in a rational manner. The child should have the



confidence to confide in you.





Gentle parenting is the key to successful homeschooling. Be a



parent first, and then a teacher.
