WHEN SHOULD YOU BEGIN TEACHING YOUR CHILD TO READ?

Your child will have plenty of opportunity for dry lectures, mind-numbing repetitive drills, and boring lessons as they grow older so don't even go there. If you can't make learning fun and more like play than work then don't even go there. Trust your child's education to the professionals and hope for the best. Remember, there are many wonderful teachers out there so you child is not doomed to failure even if you don't intervene. However, the system is not a success and it is likely that at some point during the process your child may be adversely effected by it! That's why I take an active role in my child's education.

WHY ONLINE EDUCATION IS GROWING

Distance education of one sort or another has been around for a long time. Correspondence courses helped people learn trades on their own free time, while radio or taped television courses educated students in remote areas. Now, with the rapid expansion and evolution of the Internet, online education has become a reality. What began as a convenient means of offering internal training to employees via corporate intranets has now spread to the general public over the worldwide web.

Online-only colleges and career schools have flourished, and traditional ground-based universities are moving courses and degree programs onto the Internet.  It’s now possible to earn a degree from an accredited college without ever setting foot on campus, and more people enroll every year

RIGHT AGE TO PUT YOUR CHILD TO A BOARDING SCHOOL

Understanding is the key to determining the right age to put your child to a boarding school. There could be many factors that determine the right age to put your child to a boarding school.
Are you comfortable with what you are doing?
Let’s assume that you have reached the decision of putting your child in a boarding school. Also assume that your child is between 4 to 10 years of age. You go and leave your child in the boarding school and then you come back home. How is your child going to feel all alone without you for the first time? At such a young age? Can you picture the scene and the emotions at play over here? Perhaps when you reach home after having left your child, you may find yourself in tears and regretting your decision.
Is it a case of discipline?
Do you want to put your child in a boarding school so as to discipline your child? How old is your child? 4 years? 7 years? 10 years? Perhaps you or your spouse or both of you have determined that it would be best to put your child in boarding as your child is in need of discipline.
Maybe both of you feel that by doing so, this is going to benefit the kid. So are you sure you are sending your child away at the right age and for the right reason?
What is the right age to put your child to a boarding school?
The answer to this can really be very tricky. There are so many factors that come into play. One of the prime factors responsible for taking such a decision would be – You! You need to ask yourself – “Do I really want to do this? Is this the right age for my child for me to take such a decision?”
You also need to answer whether your child is at the age where he or she can take care of his or her own emotional needs without you. Whether your child can stay without the sense of security that he or she can get when being with you? Being hugged by you, being taken out by you, being near you…is your child the right age to be deprived of all this?
What is the right age?
Your child needs to be able to understand why he or she is being sent to boarding school. Your child needs to understand that he or she is not being shunned by you. Your child needs to understand that you are doing it for his or her own good.
When your child understands all this, this is the right age to put your child to a boarding school.
