Laquo; More Math. The Flying Karamazov Brothers. More math learning in our house. July 8, 2010 by Lori. This all just unfolded in our household while the boys were in motion, half-watching SpongeBob on tv and bouncing on the couch and talking about other stuff…. Justin (a little over 5 years old): Hey Dad, two quarters equals one half. Dad: Yes it does! Justin: And, half of a half is a quarter! Dad: That’s right! Russell (almost 8 years old): But Dad, is half of a quarter an eighth? How to write them?

Posted December 4, 2010 by katherand. It was extremely helpful. Immediately after the Charm Hold, my son was able to successfully latch on and suck the milk instead of only managing to lick. Lifesaver! Otherwise I would have had to consider formula feeding. It sounds ridiculous but it worked for me and Karl. So that’s it! And here’s Fr...

Ahhhhh… this is what Mother’s Day is all about. Crazy fun! Is it any wonder that these boys always blow the knees out of all their pants? I’m not much of a patcher, which is ok because they don’t mind wearing pants with gaping holes in the knees.). What we want ...

Is it a Mistake to Raise Children Gently in a Harsh World?* (or Picking Up the Pieces) | Essentially Unschooling

https://blogkath.wordpress.com/2010/07/18/raising-children-gently-in-a-harsh-world

Wouldn't you know. WELCOME to the same old Essentially Unschooling blog, now at this URL. Is it a Mistake to Raise Children Gently in a Harsh World? Or Picking Up the Pieces). I said the above in response to the title question which appeared on an unschooling dad’s Facebook status. By the same token, how else do so many parents learn to do the unschooling thing except through much determination to move AWAY from the difficulty that is their past lives and realities? I realize that the case could be argue...

Wouldn't you know. WELCOME to the same old Essentially Unschooling blog, now at this URL. Breastfeeding info, even within the marvelous La Leche League organization, is not as complete as many mothers need it to be. I was very lucky. I struggled to breastfeed my son for what seemed like close to 18 or so hours a day for 16 weeks before one lady I called (a LLL counselor) stumbled over a technique called the Charm Hold in some ancient LLL material she had on her shelf from the 1940s!

Wouldn't you know. WELCOME to the same old Essentially Unschooling blog, now at this URL. Testing: the Lifeblood of Learning. It seems to me something very basic is wrong about testing students. The meaning of testing is to try something to see if it’s good, interesting, worthy, or true. Is that what schools do with students? In my opinion, to the degree that the test is the property and instrument of the learner, it can facilitate learning. Tests don’t belong in the hands of teachers. What Jon Kream said.

Laquo; Jumping in…. More math, and learning to ride a bike. Speaking of math…. January 17, 2009 by Lori. Some of the math skills I’ve seen my boys learn naturally can be seen in the following examples:. At age 5 1/2, Russell decided to count to 100… by NINETEENS! I was reading to him in bed one night and his mind wandered (although he retained the story even as he started to tell me something math related, so maybe it didn’t “wander” so much as move to “multitask” mode? 8221; Then he offered to share wit...
