Ever feel nostalgic for a simpler time when family life was more integrated? Author Kym Wright talks about one way both parents can be involved with what their children are learning on today’s Home School Heartbeat with Mike Smith. Mike Smith: Kym Wright: However, it’s so important to our children to have time with both parents, to see they’re both supportive of the homeschool, and to have them learning from both of them, if possible. So we need to come up with creative ways for the working parents to be included. The working parent can read school and library books to the children teaching or spot-hit hard subjects—such as math, or science, or history. They can also help with science labs, library trips, show ‘n’ tell night, writing, researching, building models for the units they’re studying. Another way a working spouse can help is to take responsibility for the children on some Saturdays or days off so the teaching parent can have that time to plan the unit studies. Working spouses can help in many ways when you use unit studies. The most important point is for mom and dad to communicate with each other what things the other can do to help the most—and then to do them. Mike: |
