Home Education Curation Collection. 16th July 2022

I'm a little early this week with the curation and it's only been 5 days since @missdeli brought us some highlights. I thought I might have to add fewer posts, but found a wonderful selection with plenty to choose from after all. Interestingly, the theme of the posts I've chosen this week have been taking a slightly different look at education which gave me some food for thought.

First our usual thank you everyone who makes this community what it is. This week 5% beneficiaries for interaction and contribution to the HomeEdders community go to:

• @leomarylm
• @afterglow
• @missdeli
• @eumelysm

@romeskie takes a look at burnout and incorporating quiet time into the family homeschool routine. Often a mistake we make as educators and/or parents is to become so fixated on whether our children are learning, that they start to see it a something bad and lose their enjoyment and thirst for learning, which is certainly not something you want happening early on in life.



When his son wanted a fishing rod, @cmplxty saw an opportunity to teach him a bit about how to work to earn and save for things you want. This is also an opportunity to learn how much work needs doing around the house, so it is a bit of home economics apprenticeship too. 😉



@thisismylife reminded me how often my daughters used to surprise me with how they'd developed and learnt, without any purposeful input from me, with her account of her daughter completing a pretty intricate Lego at build nearly all by herself. Demonstrating that a little boredom can make for a great learning environment.



As we are already seeing, learning isn't all about bookwork. It's fantastic to get out of the house and do thing in the great outdoors. I loved seeing the fun @leomarylm and her girls had interacting with street art as they improved their gross motor skills.



@missdeli brings us back indoors for some fine motor skills work through art. Her little man has been gluing for the four seasons. This made me think that it's ironic how much art is used in our early learning and development, but often gets left by the wayside as we get older because it's mostly seen as not being productive.
