Nanny to Mommy

When you play with your child, not only are they having a good time, but they are also picking up vital knowledge that will advance them. You can do all sorts of games and activities with your child that are both fun and educational. This article will outline various activities that meet both criteria.

If you think learning history at home is impossible, this article is for you. Check it out, and you'll understand that education can be funny and exciting.

With each passing year, homeschooling is becoming more common. Homeschooling is a reasonably progressive movement in a world where parents teach their children alone or with tutors at home rather than sending them to school. The reasons why families choose this type of education are different:

- dissatisfaction with their school education.

- dissatisfied with religious philosophies and beliefs.

The home learning movement began to grow in the 1970s. For example, in the United States, more than 2 million children study at home, and this percentage is constantly growing. Homeschooling is also legal in about 50 countries.

Many people disagree about the rights of Dreamers and the necessity of a lasting solution, but one thing is for sure. Our situation is much better now that DACA is in place. DACA's advantages go far beyond the work authorization and deportation relief it provides to those who qualify. Compassion and compromise are necessary for those who were brought to the United States as children. They're from the US. Restricting their progress would only serve to limit the scope of our own national development.

DACA is a game-changer for recipients. It opened doors to training and employment prospects. Many Dreamers dislike living in two-year intervals. Also, legal issues threaten DACA's long-term survival. Over 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. are eligible for DACA, which leads to permanent residency and citizenship.

Online education allows people to learn by coming together in a physical classroom. However, this new setup is incomplete and fully advantageous.

The issue of whether we should use a predominantly online-based learning system has been a subject of discussion in our university system.

Many students feel uncomfortable with the difficulty of writing their college essays and studying for their examinations. Comparisons in works are especially complicated. Although they have the opportunity to check out the free compare and contrast essay examples on the Grades fixer, this does not completely solve the problem. After all, everyone is afraid of getting a bad grade. Nevertheless, free examples provide the basic confidence to start writing and set you up for a decent tutor-to-student contract for grades.

Let us review the benefits and downsides of an internet-based college education. You have a lot to learn from this detailed write-up.

When bringing life into the world, many of your waking hours will be spent tending to your children’s every want and need. As you progress through motherhood, there may come a point where you reassess your situation and decide it’s time to go back into education. Gaining new skills and credentials can help you command a higher salary, which is vital for supporting your family and everything that goes with it.

Many stay at home moms opt for online learning which provides freedom and flexibility, allowing you to study at home and at a pace that suits you. However, with children to look after along the way, juggling your duties can be difficult. To help, here is a guide on how to be a successful mom-student.

As a parent, you want your kids to enjoy and make the most of their youthful years. And so you strive to keep them grounded by limiting the time they spend using gadgets and urging them to spend more time outdoors to socialize with others or immerse themselves in nature. Some parents may take their children for backyard picnics and walks in the park. Meanwhile, others tend to be more adventurous and allow their kids to tag along when they’re backpacking, hiking, or going camping.

However, one activity that most parents may have never tried with their kids before is visiting a farm. Read on to find out why this particular option is worth considering.

Educating your children is one of the most important things you can do. But sometimes, it's hard to find an activity that will keep them entertained while also teaching them something new. Luckily, this post will offer plenty of outdoor activities that meet this criterion! These activities include:

For parents looking to avoid sugar overload this year, books are a great way to fill the kids' Easter baskets (and last way longer than chocolate!). National Geographic Kids has six books for kids of all ages that are filled with fuzzy animals, fun facts, and Easter stories -- a perfect fit for this holiday and the celebration of Spring!

If you have recently switched from schooling to homeschooling, the transition can be slow and difficult for your child and you, mostly when it was sudden. Although homeschooling has many benefits, such as a safer environment for your children and you get to spend more time with them, some children may take time to adapt to the new arrangement. How can you make the transition easier?

Whether you are going back to school in person, home schooling, distance learning, or decided to switch to private school, this year will look different. Our children are going in two weeks to in person school and they will have to wear masks for most of the day. Right now we are virtual learning and have been having a ton of tech issues. So supplementing their education is important to me.

As millions of kids (and their parents!) embark on distance learning, what’s on the family bookshelf has never been more important. Nat Geo Kids Books has always been the gold standard when it comes to providing educational, fun, engaging books for kids, and this fall is no different. I was recently sent a National Geographic Kids Books Home Learning Essentials that I am excited to share with you as well as giveaway! I love National Geographic Kids books for my family and these are no exception. Here is a bit more about these titles that are must-haves for the school year:

When it comes to homeschooling, the whole world is thrust into a situation where we are all home educating the kids - whether we like it or not. Of course, plenty of parents choose to home educate naturally, but those who don't go for home education usually have to then make adjustments. It’s stressful, we’re not going to lie.

However, you can make home education fun. You can teach your kids without needing to sit them down and teach them a lesson: education is everywhere should they want to partake in it. You can learn with Science Videos online, craft paper and glue, running round the house on scavenger hunts - it’s all available for your kids! With that in mind, let’s take a look at how you can make home education fun.

Your child’s early development is important to focus on when it comes to giving them the best opportunities for later on in life. What you teach and influence in them right now will have an impact later on in their lives. There is plenty that you can do as a parent or guardian to make sure that your child is growing up to have the best start they possibly can in life, and when it comes to education. Here are some tips to help your child’s early development.

In recent months, more and more of us have had to dip our toe into the complex and complicated world of homeschooling. Now, more than ever, many of us who have taken for granted our public school teachers, college professors and daycare workers, truly understand and appreciate the hard work these professionals have invested in our children. For those of us who were already homeschooling our children, we’re heartened to know that now people truly understand the work and labor involved with educating children of all ages, abilities and talents.

If there’s any silver lining to practicing social-distancing, it’s that more of us have been given the gift of time with the children in our lives, and are able to have a direct hand in their education. For many of us, we’ve never been so hands-on when it came to our children’s daily lessons or homework. This experience is as rewarding as it is difficult.

If you’re still getting into the swing of things when it comes to your child’s remote learning - either because you’re getting used to requirements set forth by social distancing, or if you’re just new to the homeschooling thing and plan to keep doing it permanently - you may be wondering if there are any easy tricks or tips to help ease you and your child into this new situation. Luckily, there are. With educational technology ever on the rise, there are quite a few programs, platforms, apps and resources out there for parents who want to do remote learning at home.

When it comes to thinking about the future, we can all get a little lost on it. We are all encouraged to live in the moment. Life is too short to dwell on things, be present in the day to day, that sort of thing. But the truth is, we can all agree that while that mentality is a great one to have, time moves forward at a rapid pace, and often we can find ourselves wondering where the time has gone. After all, you are probably wondering where this year has gone. Sometimes it is good to spend a little time thinking about the future, and often the decisions we make, now and in our own near futures can have an impact on our child’s future. With that in mind, here are some of the ways your decisions can impact your child and their future.

Although I received compensation to share this info with you, all opinions are my own. If you were like me and trying to find completely free math games for kids, then look no further.

If you are like so many others right now, you are scouring the web to either find something to help your child further their education from home, already a homeschooler, or you want to find something to supplement the rest of the missing school year in the midst of our current craziness.

Schools closed down completely here for the rest of this academic calendar. The day of school was March 13 and it was a half day at that. The teachers were literally given a half day to throw something together and were told for only two weeks, not the rest of the school year. My daughter is in 3rd grade and they have laptops that come home with them. My son is in Kindergarten and not so lucky. 

Searching the web for easy games that they can actually use to help them in different subjects like math can be tiresome. I was so grateful when I discovered Calculators.org and their free math and logic games.

Easter this year is going to look different in our house for sure. Every year I usually host our Annual Easter Egg Hunt with mine and my husband's family and friends. But this year, I am going to focus on what I can control and that is the sugar content in my kiddos Easter baskets! My son fell in love with Blippi randomly on YouTube a few years ago, so I am excited to share this fun non-candy and educational Blippi Easter Basket Giveaway with you all.

In early 2014, Stevin John decided that the world needed Blippi after struggling to find educational videos for his three-year-old-nephew. So he took it upon himself to create the lovable and energetic character of "Blippi" to fill this void. Clad in orange and blue that jumps off the screen, Blippi's engaging personality and friendly demeanor attracted the attention of kids and parents alike. With over 20 MILLION YouTube subscribers and over 11 BILLION views to date, Blippi is helping to make education fun! Like the lyrics to his theme song say: “So much to learn about, it’ll make you want to shout: Blippi!”

This Spring, StudioFun is debuting four new Blippi books for pre-schoolers.:

My elementary school aged daughter's school shared these math games with dice and cards to play at home and I thought I would share them with all of you. The title of the game is a link to the game instructions and other materials that may be needed to play. Have fun while brushing up on those math skills!

The awesome thing is that children are practicing their math skills without even realizing it!

My first thought when I heard that they were closing schools was, "How are those children that get free lunch going to eat?" Thankfully, my school district is still passing out lunches. I would still go and deliver peanut butter and jelly sandwiches if that is what needed to be done. My next thought was, "How are we going to educate our children?" My son gets IEP and so this was a major concern whether he was going to get behind or not. Thankfully I have resources like ABCmouse and RevolutionMath, but not everyone is so lucky.

I came across this list from Amazing Educational Resources Facebook Group so I thought I would share here as well so more people can find it. I do encourage you to follow that group for more. Just click on each link below to find out how to access their free program.
