Homeschooling is a type of learning where the child is predominantly educated at home instead of sending them to a regular school. Homeschooling is a new experience for many families; it is one of the unexpected developments parents are grappling with as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
Some parents may already be familiar with the homeschooling concept and will have the resources to teach their children at home. Some parents may have chosen explicitly to home-school their children instead of attending regular school and may be enrolled in alternative schooling provisions like the National Institute of Open Schooling. But for the majority of parents, taking on a full-time ‘teacher’ role during this lockdown can seem a daunting task. In addition to balancing domestic and professional work, many parents may find it challenging to teach their children on a full-time basis. Apart from the time commitment, parents need to have patience, knowledge, and awareness of different teaching methods to engage the child in lessons productively. Thankfully, with some planning and preparation, every parent can rise up to the challenge and enjoy teaching their kids at home.
The following are some tips to make homeschooling a success:
Conclusion:
Remember that despite the challenges, homeschooling is an excellent opportunity to spend more time bonding with children and having fun together as a family. This time will help the parents to know more about their child’s strengths and weaknesses so that they can effectively understand and support him or her. Parents will become familiar with their child’s favorite subjects and their learning style. Since parents are spending more one-on-one time with their child, it can help identify any problems with their attention, concentration, and pick up any specific learning difficulties with spellings, reading, mathematics, etc. With some patience and remedial teaching support, parents can enable the child to learn effectively.
If parents have any concerns about their child’s learning, emotional or behavioral health, they can discuss it with their child’s teacher and consider consulting a professional, if needed.
