There are many ways to educate at home and ways that children learn. Parents begin to educate their children with the traditional model of a classroom, because it is what is commonly known. They usually start buying a prepared curriculum, so easy to carry it out because it includes all steps, all that the child should learn during that year of study, Homeschool books, exams, professional assistance by telephone or cybernetics, etc.
Unfortunately many children are reluctant to carry out the curriculum and that is when parents tend to use part of the Homeschool curriculum, bring in their own way and discard what is not useful. A lot of families who educate at home say it is healthier child adapt the curriculum to the child to the curriculum. Therefore, when the curriculum does not meet your expectations, decide to seek another alternative that fits the child’s learning styles.
In 1983, Howard Gardner introduced the theory of Multiple Intelligences. His research was based primarily on individuals could develop different talents due to the learning style of each. Including bodily-kinesthetic, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist. A child with bodily-kinesthetic features learn best when participating in physical activities. Obviously this child sitting in a classroom with paper and pencil can be a daunting task and very productive. On several occasions, children with this table is a child labeled as “problematic” or a limitation of learning, and in fact the only problem is the teaching method, which is not according to their learning style.
Education at home or Homeschooling Curriculum allows children to grow and learn at their own learning styles. So the question would be: As a parent educator in the home can decide the teaching method to use to educate their children at home? Simple, as parents we know our children, their tastes and preferences, pleasures, their learning style. This will shed light and ideas to choose the teaching method that allows us to exploit their strengths to get the maximum out of your academic needs.
An old Chinese proverb: “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I will remember, let me do it myself and I understand”. Children learn by receiving the directions and answer the information at the speed of light. Arouses curiosity and interest leads to learning. Parents should be facilitators rather than teachers. When we expose our children to different experiences each day, learning will take place in a fun and natural. Education at home will accommodate our children in the environment that will provide spark curiosity and creativity that lives in them. The children, being free from the constraints imposed by the regular school, learning with more enthusiasm.
