Making the Most of the Preschool Years (Y) Educational psychologists claim that more than half of a child’s learning occurs in his first few years. Should we take advantage of our preschooler’s ability to absorb information by engaging him in academics, or would another course of action be more productive? Valerie discusses how you can make the most of these important years. Valerie also offers tips on multi-level teaching, including teaching school-aged children with a toddler in the house, as she draws from her own experience in teaching her six children. Approximately 45 minutes CD $8.00 Introduction to Unit Studies (G) As she reviews the basics of teaching by the unit study method, Valerie gives instruction on how to develop unit studies based on your own family’s needs and desires.
