3 | The Early Years: What Preschool Children *Actually* Need


Listen Later

“In this time of extraordinary pressure—educational and social—perhaps a mother’s first duty to her children is to secure for them a quiet growing time" -Charlotte Mason, Home Education

"What should I do with my preschool-age kids to make sure they're ready for school?"
"Which preschool/kindergarten curriculum should I use?"
"My first grader keeps getting in trouble at school. He's so wiggly and disruptive. What should I do?"
The Early Years, the stage from birth to six years old, is a special time of immense growth -- both physically, mentally, and emotionally. And because of this they require a totally different educational approach than school-age children.
What do young kids actually need from adults and how can we best provide a "quiet growing time?" I'll answer those questions and more in this episode.
