Traditional Schooling vs. Home-schooling
The advice and support that Noël’s parent coaching offers to home-schoolers can make family life “calmer, easier, and happier”.
Are you considering home-schooling, but you have questions about how to get started, and how your child will react?
Or are you already home-schooling, and running into issues that you’d like to resolve?
Over the years I have worked with many parents who have chosen to educate their children at home, sometimes for only a short time, sometimes for many years.
Do you have a child who:
learns more slowly than the average, leading to confusion, frustration, and then switching off at school?
learns more quickly than the average so finds school boring?
easily picks up habits of misbehavior?
is easily distracted so can’t focus in a noisy, busy, over-crowded classroom?
has special needs not being effectively addressed at school?
is introverted and finds making friends very difficult?
When home-schooling parents are starting out, some of their concerns are:
What kind of home-schooling would be best for my child?
How do I motivate my child to want to learn?
Where can I find a friendship group for my child?
How do I get an uncooperative child to cooperate with the new plan?
How much structure does my child need?
How much should I let my child decide about what he wants to learn?
Will I be good enough?
Can I really do it?
There are several different types of home education to choose from, and each has its benefits but also its challenges. Noël can help you evaluate the pros and cons for your family of each type.
Parents who are already home-schooling often have the following questions:
How can I guide my child to be more organized?
How do I help my child to be more confident when he says that he’s stupid and that he’ll never learn?
How can I motivate my child to read more?
How can I keep my younger children occupied while I’m home-schooling the older ones?
How can I help my special needs child improve his social skills?
What should I do when my child says he wants to go back to school but I know that wouldn’t be good for him at this time?
How can I make sure my child is keeping up with what she would be learning at school?
Home-schooling parents find the ‘Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting and Teaching’ strategies very helpful, giving them the tools to embark on, and continue on, this very rewarding journey.
