Awesome video! I appreciated the part about chores. These few chores are just right for preschoolers. Like, getting an outfit out for tomorrow, making their bed, removing sheets, putting shoes away, folding towels, unloading the dishwasher, putting socks or towels away. I love to call chores “responsibilities” to have a positive mindset about working around the house. Some may not agree with me, I don’t pay them either, since they won’t get paid as an adult for doing these tasks why should they as children. I have found great success in calling chores responsibilities. Then as children grow in making their bed and putting their clothes away, I start calling their bedroom “their practice apartment” around age 7 - 10. Their rooms look company or friend ready all the time.

I think it’s important for children to learn to be an integral, helpful part of their family. And enjoy having their own “responsibilities” that help their family.

Two important things to focus in preschool years: - Forming good habits: The action becomes a habit Which habits is forming tour child? - Providing good variaty of ideas: 1. Have deep conversations with your child, guiding him and solving his doubts 2. Playing through senses, free play 3. Time in nature 4. Books and stories, select books that can help to have good habits 5. Music and art 6. Involve him in home tasks 7. Spiritual life 8. Abc: using material that can be sensed, use rhyms 9. Math concepts: numbers, shapes, positions, weight (use playing) 10. Flexibility with time: don't force him to adjust to your personal goals

This has been the one video I’ve watched on homeschooling preschoolers that actually feels realistic. I love how the focus is more on allowing toddlers to explore the world, rather than pressuring them to hurry and start reading. Although I think that is still important, I feel when it is the main focus, it makes learning a scary and unpleasant experience if the child is not ready, or cannot fully grasp the concepts yet. Also, your voice is so soothing. It really eased my anxiety about starting homeschooling

Any advice for a child (going into kindergarten) who excelled early academically, but maybe didn't have the opportunity or structure to focus on habits? Do we focus on that before academics now? I also have a 7 year old who is quite obedient most of the time, but has a terrible time remembering to say please and thank you. How do I address this? She just forgets, not being rebellious.
@SimplyCharlotteMason2 жыл бұрын
It's never to late or early to begin focusing on habits, whether school aged or not. You can work on habits while enjoying these early years with your little one, teaching him early academics through informal play and activities. Concerning your 7 year old, it's great that you recognize that please and thank you are from simple forgetfulness and not rebellion. Continue to gently remind her as well as set an example for her. I (SCM team member) often realize that I forget to say please and thank you to the members of my household (ouch!).

My son is very high energy and I’m overwhelmed with finding things for him to do, so I’m just curious if CM recommended activities or what to focus on in these years.

@SimplyCharlotteMason2 ай бұрын
Hi great question, in these videos "preschool" would refer to any student younger than six years old. Charlotte Mason recommended that children wait to start formal lessons until they were six years old, so anyone younger than that would fall into this category of "preschool" although we are used to further separating it out in day to day conversation into categories of "preschool" and "kindergarten." This video is also linked on this page, but here you will find additional details on what SCM recommends in the preschool and kindergarten years. simplycharlottemason.com/planning/preschool-guide/

I have a question. My daughter turned 4 in April. I had planned on waiting until she was 6 (or close to) before we really started "school". She keeps begging to start homeschool though. Allot of her friends from church are in pre-school and she wants to do it too. She's an only child, although I watch a 2 year old during the week. Currently we use delightful reading level 1 and do lots math games. We play outside as much as Kansas weather permits and we do lots of art and music. However, I can't convince her that she is essentially doing "preschool" homeschool. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do for her to have "school" without starting formal lessons to early?
@SimplyCharlotteMason4 жыл бұрын
Great questions! It's wonderful that your daughter is eager to learn. Charlotte Mason encouraged mothers to teach their children and feed their hunger, however she advised against requiring formal studies until the age of 6. This means that if your daughter has a desire to learn, teach her, which it sounds like you are already doing. Perhaps give her a nature journal if you haven't already and allow her to begin drawing what she sees outside. You can add weather stickers to a calendar daily, begin memorizing poetry, nursery rhymes, and Scripture verses. You can find many more ideas for a rich preschool and kindergarten year on our website at: simplycharlottemason.com/planning/preschool-guide/

Hi, This is an excellent question! You can walk through our curriculum and see where religion is included and discuss this as a family. Then I would encourage you to pray about it as this will be an ongoing conversation in raising children overall and not just in what they are learning in their homeschooling lessons and let the Holy Spirit guide you all.
