Tips & Tricks
School +Socials
For Children, it is very important for their social well-being to be able to interact with other kids whether it is at a formal school setting, or just being at the park to play with others, and to enjoy the interactions and playtime they have growing up.
Formal Schooling
Parents would most likely want their Children to attend formal schooling as that will be the key to them working, and the best way to know about them is by visiting the schools around the home and to select a school for them, or find a place near to the school of choice that kids go to. There is a way to know about the schools before going to the schools or being recommended on which is good, is by speaking to other parents at playgrounds and that seemed to have worked well for us, every time we select a new location, we head to the park and talk to parents, especially with similar kids to ours, to get a feel of the place and surroundings, and ask them about their Children and the school they attend. This is usually the best way to know the surrounding schools and get recommended.
Key Factors - Schooling
-
Gets exposure to other Children, whether it for playing or to learn in a proper school education system.
-
Learning what teachers-student relationship are in school and to be respectful of the system that exist.
-
Being friends with other kids , learning their own choices and preferences within the school compound.
-
Less of getting bored with just parent-children relationship as they learn with other kids and teachers.
-
Understanding the generic school system and learning via syllabus that has already been programmed.
If not, Homeschool
If you decide otherwise, to not attend proper school and would like to explore the unknown, then homeschool is the right choice, and it could also be more interesting, with more outdoor learnings and education on-the-go too. We would recommend not to be stuck at home as the development of the Child will be halted, but to spend most of the time outdoors, in parks and admiring the historical places and museums to encourage critical thinking for the Child, and to develop curiosity in the Child's mind - asking random questions to learn more about their likings and develop their own self thoughts and choices along the way. This is very important as to nurture them with all the basic fundamentals of life - speaking, shapes, numbers, understanding of nature and the curiosity they bring.
Key Factors - Homeschool
-
With self-thought or even formal syllabus, learning at home could be more fun.
-
Less socialization at school, less bullies and more control from bad exposures.
-
Does not bring home diseases (the usual ones as cold, fever, sore throats, etc.)
-
Study at your own pace, one topic at a time, time is not wasted even at breaks.
-
We monitor the progress of Children and improve the areas that are needed.
-
Ideally 60% of it could be outdoors with 40% indoors and 2-3 hours of school.
