When I was starting out homeschooling, I read a book by Maria Montessori called “The Absorbent Mind.” It was tranformative to me as a parent and teacher. I highly recommend it to everyone who works with children.
I am doing a presentation on Sunday at the Digital Homeschool conference that covers some of my thoughts on it SEE HERE, but I also wrote an article on a similar subject for SPED Homeschool.
