  • Best practices to keep in mind when you make your plans for your kids during your homeschooling year together!

    1. Be consistent - what you do today, do tomorrow, and the next day. It's important to have a rhythm and routine for your kids. If you have a walk after lunch one day, continue this rhythm daily so it becomes part of your time together with your child. Kids thrive on consistency, from one-on-one special time to discipline to family rituals and traditions.

    2. Slow and Stead Winds the Race! Be a turtle - don't eat the whole enchilada at once! Spread out the things you want to do throughout the year so you have time in between for more inspired experiences and activities. Most people will take on too much and choke at the start. You want to show your kids how make a goal, map out steps to get there, and consistently work toward that goal every day.

    3. Start Simple! Work toward your educational goals in stages. Babies learn to sit up, then wiggle and roll, then crawl, walk then run. There's a definite purpose to the order and sequence! You want the same for your kids' educational experience. Most people will start out with a huge amount to do, and then get overloaded and quit. You see this with diet and exercise, people starting up their own business, and in many other areas of life. This skill of starting slow and adding things incrementally will spread to multiple areas of your child's life.

    4. When you say YES to one thing, you say NO to something else. If I say YES to soccer activities, I am saying NO to having Saturday morning snuggles, hiking, and farmer's markets that I love taking my kids to. Evaluate if the YES is going to fulfill your goals in ways that are positive and sustainable.

    5. Minimize Distractions - Does your child's study space allow them to focus and be inspired? Where do they gravitate to when they are doing their logical learning, their creative play, and their imaginative dreaming? Understand how the learning spaces you set up best support your child's educational experiences.

    6. Collaborate - don't go it alone! There's a vollage of folks out there that are passionate about their work and love kids! Those are the ones you need to connect and engage with!

  • STEPS FOR EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS: Make Your Message Loud and Clear
    One of the things I personally cannot stand in a science curriculum (especially books and videos) is when the instructor runs through an experiment *perfectly* the first time, never making a mistake or a mess, and then showing you the final result you should get. Here’s why I hate this: 1. There’s no opportunity for the kid to learn anything because you just did it all for him.2. No scientist in their right mind would do an experiment they already know the answer to.3. Kids do not understand how to handle it when things go wrong.4. There’s usually no passion or excitement because you just gave away the ending.5. Kids think there’s only ONE way to do things, and it’s the way shown in the video. Here at Supercharged Science, we understand the value of making mistakes, allowing room for discovery and innovation, and totally encourage kids to go above and beyond the basic concepts we cover by opening up the variations at the end of the experiments. We show your kids what the main ideas are, how to handle the equipment and chemicals properly, and then allow them room to innovate, create and design their experiments because we’ve taught them how to think for themselves.

  • What are the Most Important Subjects to Teach your Homeschool Kids?

    It's overwhelming to put together a complete 12-year homeschool curriculum from scratch, so most homeschoolers model what public schools do: teach individual subjects (math, reading, history, etc... ) and that's it. The trouble is, most of the skills we need in life aren't found in that type of curriculum. So how to we figure out not only what to teach, but how to teach it? that's what we're going to cover today!
