Should you be teaching communication skills to your preschooler?
“Teaching communication skills at the preschool level is a BRILLIANT idea!”
Gena Suarez, publisher of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and mother of five, just posted that on my Facebook page. It is a brilliant idea but, to be honest, it wasn’t really MY brilliant idea. It was my customers’ idea. It came from all the feedback I received asking for a way they could allow their young children a chance to learn social communication skills before the shyness and intimidation of the elementary years set in.
Say What You Mean for Preschoolers gently teaches young children the basic communication skills through play! It’s a 2-5 yr program that teaches to various learning styles and interests. In fact, I used it with my gifted son til he was about 7yrs old! Boys mature later than girls do in their communication skills and gifted children often have special communication struggles.
I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines.

This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to homeschooling and sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus.
