Just before I was about to begin writing this article,I went through my emails. There it is! An email with the following quote: "Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it." --William Feather, Writer. Talk about Law of Attraction or synchronism, here I was thinking about what to write and this pops up on my screen. While studying for certification as a life coach, Life is a Journey not a Destination was one of the "Empowerment Foundation Principles" that was taught at iPEC (Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching). But why write about it? This principal has special meaning for me and is one I think many of us...

It doesn't matter if your child is traditional-schooled, homeschooled or unschooled; you are your child's first - and longest - teacher.

oogle_ad_section_start --> Considering the rapid physical development an infant experiences, the physical development of a child in the preschool years is slow and steady. An infant typically gains about 14 pounds by their first birthday, while an average preschooler gains about six pounds a year until they are six years old. During the preschool years, the weight gain is made up of muscle and fat, as preschoolers actually shed body fat. A typical preschool boy weighs about 32 pounds, (about as much as three bags of groceries) and an average preschool girl weighs a bit less. When considering the general physical development of a child, preschool boys typically outweigh girls by about a pound. When...

A child with school avoidance anxiety is more than just a little reluctant to go to school and consistently avoids going to school or, if they do manage to get there, has problems staying in school. This is a child who avoids school because of feelings of fear, dread and doom, not because of rebelliousness or delinquent behavior. School refusal or school avoidance anxiety is usually a sign of a deeper problem, and if not dealt with right away it can have long term effects. This can cause problems in the areas of normal social behavior, confidence and self-esteem, as well as home life and academics. Recognizing the problem and getting help early is the key to the positive outcomes for school...

As children get beyond the preschool/ kindergarten stage, many of them lose the joy in learning that is the characteristic of those early years.

-- End Ad Box ---> Some 2500 years ago, Philip, King of Macedon, arranged private tuition for his teenage son. The scholar whom Philip engaged was Aristotle himself, and Philip's son Alexander—known to us as Alexander the Great—went on to make his extraordinary mark on history.
