Making The Transition From Parent To Teacher in 5 Steps

Homeschooling is an excellent option for parents who want more control over what they teach their children. Also, it’s healthier for the kids as they get to learn in a less formal environment with more one-to-one instruction. Still, not every mom or dad is cut out for the role. To be successful, you need to be an effective teacher. 

Making the transition isn’t a walk in the park, not if you don’t have any teaching experience. However, you have to catch on quickly, or else you run the risk of putting your children’s education in jeopardy, and that’s the opposite of what you want.

Helping Children Make Sense of a Tragedy

**This was originally published after the Boston Marathon Bombing, but I feel it is relavent to share again.***

Tragedies can be quite a challenge for adults, let alone children.

Boston Marathon Mr. Rogers
Children process these things differently. They may be asking difficult questions and parents may need suggestions to help discuss what happened and address their concerns.

Fred Rogers from the long-running TV show, Mr. Rogers was quoted as saying, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” That is good advice from the wise Mrs. Rogers, but what if your children have questions and need more?

Below are some helpful tips from Child Psychologist Dr. Phyllis Ohr, for Press4Kids’ News-O-Matic, the first educational, news app for children 7 to 10 years old.
