What Effect Does Home School Have On Child Psychology?

May 26, 2010 - 6:03 pm No Comments

Education is so important, especially for young children, who soak up their surroundings like a sponge. Education is a huge part of and has a huge affect on child psychology.

America’s school system is slowly deteriorating and our test scores are falling behind many other countries. Not to mention that the government is taking billion of dollars out of education funding to cover other debts. Many parents no longer want to send their children to public school. In light of this, many parents are now opting to home school their children.

Many people, however, are very reluctant and claim that home schooling children affects child psychology negatively. In school, children socialize, make friends and pick up various social tactics, all things that affect child psychology. Many parents decide not to send their children to public school because they do not want their children picking up negative social habits, or possibly being exposed to violence. But many wonder if sheltering children by home schooling them has an affect on child psychology at all.

There are many positive and negative aspects. A huge issue is socialization. While many claim that home schooled children aren’t “well adjusted,” there are many child psychology studies that claim this isn’t true. Here is a list of different ways from www.ParentLearningClub.com that you can socialize your child, if you are considering home schooling:

There have been many studies done that show that home schooled children are indeed happy, “well-adjusted” individuals who are very capable of making friends and having healthy social relationships. In other words, child psychology says home schooled children are perfectly normal and happy. In fact, home schooled children are more well rounded individuals because they have a lot more free time to pursue subjects they are interested in, such as reading, writing, sports, whatever it may be. Child psychology also says that home schooled children are better socialized than other children and look for more meaningful relationships later in life.

So if you would like to home school your child, don’t worry. School isn’t the only place your child can learn to socialize or make friends.

Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life (Hardcover)

July 8, 2009 - 2:34 pm No Comments

Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice–nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are “littlepeople,” mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It’s not just sustenance to them; it’s their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they’ve found.

Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods–our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in–although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.

Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations–anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums up all natural history in just 94 pages: Things change. They always have changed and always will change. And while there’s no single way to deal with change, the consequence of pretending change won’t happen is always the same: The cheese runs out. –Lou Schuler

Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School (Kindle Edition)

April 5, 2009 - 7:58 pm No Comments

Multitasking is the great buzz word in business today, but as developmental molecular biologist Medina tells readers in a chapter on attention, the brain can really only focus on one thing at a time. This alone is the best argument for not talking on your cellphone while driving. Medina (The Genetic Inferno) presents readers with a basket containing an even dozen good principles on how the brain works and how we can use them to our benefit at home and work. The author says our visual sense trumps all other senses, so pump up those PowerPoint presentations with graphics. The author says that we don’t sleep to give our brain a rest—studies show our neurons firing furiously away while the rest of the body is catching a few z’s. While our brain indeed loses cells as we age, it compensates so that we continue to be able to learn well into our golden years. Many of these findings and minutiae will be familiar to science buffs, but the author employs an appealing style, with suggestions on how to apply his principles, which should engage all readers.
