The environment isn't just the physical home. It's the relationships within the family, and their exploration of the world outside the home.
The emotional environment is crucial.
See all that is good about your child. |
"Sometimes it's hard, just staying still, just watching, just being with babies. But it won't be long..."
And now I have three children who are 10, 13 and 15. They have never been to school. They have never had a math lesson. But today Holly asked me to help her with 7/18 plus 5/18, for a video game she was playing. Kirby has a job and will do his income taxes soon for the second year. Marty was discussing odds and probability earlier with three other teens and his little sister.
Ten years and some later, Holly's about to turn 21, Kirby has done his taxes for years, and all three have taken math classes as young adults, for fun.
