So, what will be learning today

by Jerri Ann

I know that some of you are quite disappointed that I won’t focusing solely on homeschooling, however, I really believe that every day of a parents life is spent teaching or educating a child.  So many people prefer to simply tell their children "don’t worry about it" when they either do not wish to explain tasks or chores and some people, like me, do way too much explaining.  So, what is it that needs to be explained.

One of the many skills that every educator (parents, public school teacher, store personnel, as well as people who take part in homeschooling) should teach is the skills involved in every day tasks.  The tasks that involve socializing with people in authority, socializing with other people are attempting to handle the same business, and then in my case, tomorrow we will be discussing money and money management.

Finally, we will make it to the grocery store and this is the biggest lesson of the day.  A lesson in nutrition, and a lesson in money management

I will also be opening a savings account tomorrow and my children have no clue what-so-ever what a savings account is because we’ve never had one of those. 

With all of these lessons being on tap, the social lesson will revolve around his behavior in each situation.  He is generally very well-behaved, however, he tends to be shy and won’t speak to people when spoken to, so that will be a very important lesson for sure.

So, I’ve linked to places where you can find help in each of these situation where you can educate your own children and reinforce what other educators attempt to do as well.

Let me know what you think?
