So far so GREAT! Can I just say that this year is starting off surprisingly smooth? I went to a homeschool conference where a speaker was discussing learning styles. Something clicked and her comments seemed to bring peace to my soul. She was describing God's plans and how they differ for each of us. It is no surprise to God that our children are wired with their unique personality traits.
I realized that when we step back and just BE with them amazing things can happen. Allow them to BE. While we can and should embrace and recoznige their strongest learning styles, we can help develop their weaker areas through small amounts of practice time. We have tools available to quickly learn the Meyer Briggs (?) types. I am not saying that we should put our trust in human studies but they can help us to understand that our kids are not trying to make us crazy when they learn in a way that is natural to them...such as bouncing through your studies.
What an amazing gift i came away with. By watching our kids and paying attention to how they learn we can help them feel confident in the people God created them to be without condemnation for doing things a "different" way from the norm |
