Is There Such a Thing as Too Early? Homeschooling Preschool-Aged Children | Episode 302
Have you wondered what the best approach to educating your preschooler is? In this episode, we delve into the crucial preschool years and the essential aspects that lay the foundation for educational success.
Rachel and Carole emphasize the importance of viewing preschool as a time for bonding, laying the foundation for future success, and fostering a love for learning through work, service, and study. They recommend focusing on life skills, character development, and nurturing attachment and bonding with children during these early years, rather than early academics. Join us as we encourage parents to listen to their intuition, and to enjoy these sweet and formative years.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Why the preschool years are about bonding, character, and confidence—not early academics
- How meaningful work in the home builds responsibility, security, and self-esteem in young children
- Using real-life skills, service, and contribution as the foundation of early education
- The role of reading aloud, Scripture, music, and nature as the core of “study” in the preschool years
- How delaying formal academics protects a child’s love of learning and prevents burnout
- Why attachment and time with parents are essential during the preschool years—and how to trust your intuition as a parent
