The transition is very gradual and did not happen on Day One.<br /><br />Julie - my best advice is to take it slowly. You're doing a great job with your children at the moment so it's not as if you have to urgently fix anything that isn't working. Build on the foundation that you have with your children then gradually adjust accordingly.<br /><br />How our children will turn out in life depends on many factors other than their learning environment, so I would never be so bold as to claim to have found the secret formula to raising a perfect human being. My son is only 8 years old, so this is all still work-in-progress. The most we can do as mothers is to be vigilant and strive to do our best for our children.<br /><br />In short, be inspired but don't get stressed. :-)<br />Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-83238000315976517422013-03-19T18:15:22.204+00:002013-03-19T18:15:22.204+00:00I want to follow your lead.

I look at our subjects; reading, writing, math, history, science, spelling, music, art, language.... What do I drop? How do I get started? I don't expect you to answer these questions. It's just me thinking out loud. Maybe I just let them go and if they don't do any mathy activities for a while I try to add some? I don't know if we will ever get to where you are, but I admire your hands-off approach.jmommymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038986572848163326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847571046883368877.post-35184961446685079032013-03-19T13:09:31.401+00:002013-03-19T13:09:31.401+00:00Really well written Hwee!

Our children know that in everything if they want more freedoms they must show they are responsible enough to handle the consequences which inevitably come with those freedoms. Not age but stage. <br />Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
