In a sense, all parents are homeschooling during preschool. Sure, many kids go to schools for a few hours but the bulk of their development and education is in the hands of the parents (OK, there are some that are in full time programs or whatever, I’ll not deal with that here).
Homeschool Preschool - What approach should the parents have?
I listened to a dad explain to me about rules the other day. He kept explaining to me that just as he had learned to do with the dogs, we must do with the kids. The guy had two huge extremely well-trained dogs. But then dogs have limited intelligence and a basic instinct to obey. They are quite different from say sheep or horses or pigs. Would he be bringing his kids up differently if had different mammals as pets?
He seemed to have alot of answers. Me, I have alot of questions. Maybe there are two different types of people in the world: those with questions, those with answers. In short, he knew exactly what sort of preschool education his kids needed and oh my gosh, was he ever strict. Just like with puppies, he felt that consistency and strictness were the key.
What a nightmare…..
