Home Education: Leading Children Into Maturity
A Presentation by Pamela Whyte
Saturday, March 16, 2013
6-10pm
Norberry-Glenlee Community Center, 26 Molgat Ave (off of St Mary’s Road)
“What about Socialization?”
“What about University?”
“Don’t they drive you crazy?”
“How will they learn about the broader world?”
These questions will be familiar to any family who has decided to personally to educate their children. We hear them every day, from the checker at the grocery store to our mother on the phone – everyone is concerned about whether this works, and about what the ramifications for our children’s future is.
This presentation looks at homeschooling from a developmental point of view. What do children need in order to grow up into mature productive members of society? Is homeschooling able to provide these conditions?
As homeschoolers we are in the habit of being defensive or apologetic about our choice to bring our children home. This presentations gives the solid scientific basis for why homeschooling works. It is based on the work of Dr. Gordon Neufeld at the Neufeld Institute.
The talk will be of interest to homeschooling parents, prospective homeschoolers, and to their concerned family and friends.
There will be a small buffet with beverages.
