Interestingly, my wife and I found that the Montessori and eclectic styles of education are the best choice for homeschooling. We mix the two styles. We allow our children to pick which topics (usually 2 per day) they’d like to learn and go from there. The following day they will choose another two topics so on and so forth. This is the Montessori form of education. Whereas eclectic style, that includes things like children’s museums, gardening, farms, wilderness, zoos, arts & crafts and as of recent learning how to type and now my daughter who has heard piano is interested in learning the piano.
This gives a better idea as to what interests our children have so that we can help guide them with the least amount of friction. All in all, we want our children to have the best possible education and allow them to make their own decisions so that they’re content in learning and growing.
