I did not home school my kids but when I taught for Johns Hopkins CTY I was always impressed with the home schooled kids. I look forward to reading your blogs and hearing what you are doing. Please feel free to add ideas and questions here!MERYL JAFFE, PhD - parent, psychologist, teacher, author...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310099341897509058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-71753758025047084692010-07-28T18:08:36.482-07:002010-07-28T18:08:36.482-07:00Hi...I like the content of your blog. Being a home...Hi...I like the content of your blog. Being a homeschooling mother of 7, love the advantages of being able to "depart the text" and learn by living. I have a 2 yr. old on up to seventeen and they all have learned in an unstructured environment This has enabled them to focus on their strengths and talents and pursue what they love. The other "subjects" that doesn't come easy is learned through living-- not just pursued heavily. <br />We all are different and influencing your child to learn and think for themselves is something they can take with them forever and create success for their lives. If we can teach them to never stop learning...they're set.<br />As the saying goes..."It's not how much you know, but what you do when you don't know"<br /><br />I'll be checking back...let me know how else I can contribute to your blog!<br /><br />Jenny Penton<br />www.homeschoolingbelle.com<br />www.plannerperfect.com<br />www.plannerperfectmeals.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738104982598530264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-46797870163856938282010-07-26T05:35:16.412-07:002010-07-26T05:35:16.412-07:00Thanks for visiting my site.

I have 4 children and they are all so different!<br /><br />I don't know if anyone helped, but a gadget is just extra things you can add to your blog. Examples listed how you will see them in the blogger list when you click on add a gadget:<br /><br />Followers--click on this and it will let people "follow" your blog. Their icons will show up and you can see who is following you.<br /><br />HTML/Java Script--this is a box to add something from somewhere else, such as a music playlist, word count widget (another name for gadget), video, whatever. You cut and paste the html into the box and it does the work for you.<br /><br />Text--Just a text box.<br /><br />Blog List--you type in the address of your favorite blogs and they show up in a list. Nice for sharing. <br /><br />Those are some of the most commonly used. You can also ask a question using the "poll" gadget and see what your readers would answer. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.com
