Teaching children at home

Yes friend teaching children at home is necessary because without revision they cannot do the study. My sisters always take revision of her daughter till 10th class and now her daughter was the topper in 10th. Both daughter's habit was wake up in the 4O'clock morning and then their mother means my sister take the revision.

First i want your kids to send to English Grammer coaching which is very very important for now and for future too... Later on make them to understand the concept rather than byharting the lessons or answers. If they understood the concept they will never forget the subject. Lets say if they are studying about bulb, show them how a bulb looks like and how the filament looks like and the type of connections etc..so that they can easily keeps that in their mind through out their life... Does my suggestions makes any sense..? I went to english gramnmer coaching in my childhood....

My son is still too young for me to start teaching too many things. But as my wife is a teacher, she does most of the teaching for him. So as of now, I am not doing much of teaching for him. But I am right now trying to get him interested in reading books, so reading stories to him every day is one of my major tasks. Cheers! Ram

Yes, it is very important to teach our children while they are at home. It can helps them to understand their subject much easier when they are at school. I had started to buy books and teach my son when he was only 2 years old. Now, he is in Kindy and i can see him picking up very fast in his study. I plan to send him to a good tuition school in future, when he is studying in a higher level.

I don't have children of my own, but I see nothing wrong with home schooling children at home. With online schools, most free-of-charge it can be a great aid to children. While social interaction is important, there are other ways then sittinb in school for seven and a half to eight hours a day. Parents can get their children involved in social groups and activities that keep them out of trouble. Now, if you're talking about giving your children homework help, that's good too. Just as long as you help them in a way they are actually learning the material, and not trying to do their work for them. Most parents don't want to see their children fail, but some cross the line to where they pretty much do the work for them. With the digital age being what it was, or is this take becomes simple. Most papers are required to be typed, so on that note it's impossible to prove who typed it especially since most families are a one person household.

Teaching children at home is a wonderful thing especially when children are small. It keeps the children in touch with their studies. Also it makes the children realize that their parents care and value education. When children realize this at an early age, they tend to study a little bit more. That could be the difference between success and failure.

I have always been against this concept of teaching the children at home. I pay the fees (exorbitant amounts where I am at) and then I am expected to teach them at home too? I don't mind help and guidance....but when my kids return to school, I want to spend time with them and inculcate other things in them which the school cannot do. When I was growing up, my parents weren't able to help me. My father worked long hours and would sometimes help with Maths or Science when I had a doubt. My mother is a 10th pass in the vernacular syllabus and she wasn't able to manage with my ICSE syllabus though she helped me with a routine to study till I was in 2nd grade and my sister was born. I have to thank my parents for putting me in a good school where the teachers did their job well...and no tutions for me either. When we moved to India when I was in high school, I went to one tution class because the particular teacher would give marks only for students who attended her tution class. I hated the experience and thanks to her...for 2 whole years I didn't enjoy Maths which happens to be my favourite subject. 2 years ago, we decided to homeschool our two children (why pay money and then teach at home being one of the reasons). Our older son is almost 11 and younger one is 4 and a half....both doing exceptionally well academically and having ample time to play and enjoy life too. 2 years ago, I was a teacher at the same school as they were and though I knew other teachers who would come home and then teach their kids, I didn't want to do it.

I too can look back when my children were young and I had to sit with them so that they finished their homework ...The greatest problem they had was with languages especially Hindi and Sanskrit which they really had to work at for the first two years whereas in other subjects they did very well without my help.Those were wonderful days never to come back in life...I feel that one should try and be as close to one's children as possible during those growing years , because they grow up very fast and before we know it they are on their own , which is of course nice !

This is still going on in our home. My youngest always do his homework/s soon as he arrive from school,and I assisted him. But during weekends,it is his elder sister who always teach him with his lesson,my daughter likes teaching his younger brother with previous lesson that she already learned. have a good day

There is more to child development than merely learning 'abc'. A child needs to socialise, mix and mingle and learn to handle those who are better off than they and worse off than they, in every aspect of living. School is a place where they get this environment.

That's really nice rav. When we were young, I remember my mom would help us with all our assignments. I would come home and tell her, "Ma, we have a lot of assignments today!" By "we", I meant she and I! I liked it when my mom teaches me. We don't have tutors so after she reviews us, we finish the lessons on our own. For me it worked says the medals on our wall!

When my child started grade school last year, everything came as a shock to him because he got more home works than when he was in preschool, he's got more to study and he must write a lot. I was always there throughout and never left his side. We spent two or three hours studying each day. Reviewing what they have taken up for the day and advance reading. After a few months, he was able to adjust and learned how to study by himself. He finished grade school as an honor student and he's trying to maintain that now that he's in 2nd grade.

Having a hand in helping your kid's education by home school is told to be an effective way in raising our kids as well as cementing/ having a close relationship with them. I must say that your children are very fortunate having you as their parent. Most parents today entrust their kids education elsewhere, either at school or tutors because of time constraints.

I don't have a child yet but since I'm still young, my childhood memories are still fresh to me. I remember my mom teaching me math, basic computer stuff like MS word, complex logic and multiplication table as early as 7 yo. As for my father, he was my teacher in linguistics. He's a polyglot and he used to yell at me when I don't speak proper English and German. He thought me how to be a debater and has always been supportive to me whenever I join a competition. My (still) single godfather, is an architect and was my teacher in arts mainly about infrastructures and he gave me a set of Lego as a gift. :D All of them - my parents and my godfather, they are all strict when it comes to my education. As if they want to put the knowledge of the universe in my brain. It completely ruined my childhood. :D

We do this as well. My daughter's school always sends home some work over the summer. As a family we also make trips to the library. It helps keep them prepared for the next year.

I homeschool both my children and hope to do so right through to high school. Because I plan out our curriculum and use a variety of resources, I am literally teaching them everyday.

I was a single parent during the upbringing of my children. Though I did work a lot all the time. I specifically sat them at the kitchen breakfast nook for them to do their homework and while I ran back and forth doing the cooking I picked up flash cards and tested them. I did set out time each and every evening to sit with them to test them, check homework and make sure the teacher's memos were read, when they came. We spent a great deal of quality time together as I never left them with sitters only but for work. I enjoyed doing all that and though it was a bit difficult because my day at home really started after they were in bed. I did spend a great deal of evenings with them to teach and help with their lessons.

When my daughter was still young, I had her sit in in my class and learn what I am teaching to other kids. When its time for her to enter school, I quit my job and focus my attention on her. I did not only help her through but she's my only student and we had a one-on-one teaching and learning activities. When she's in middle school, that's the time I went back to work , she's now on her own and thanks God, she's doing alright!

When my daughter was still a young kid and is in her prep school, i would always teach her. But when she grew older, she doesn't want me to teach her anymore. She said she can manage, but would only ask when she can't answer some. Well, she graduated cumlaude in her BS Course last April and is now a scholar for Medicine. I guess, i helped her a lot in preparing for her higher school. Didn't i?

Teaching the children at home is not easy but it is a good practice. If the children are near to you then you can not scold them. children don't understand much so you have to have a good patience to make them understand. convincing them to study is a big work. I taught some children while I was myself in studies and it was tough for me.
