Parting with the baby, even for half a day, is very difficult ... Therefore, when my husband proposed to leave the kindergarten and go to the child’s home schooling, I agreed without thinking.
I work at home, so the time for my daughter (2.5 years old) was full. At first it seemed that it would be difficult, but after a month we realized that it was the best solution!
And I will tell you about 5 reasons why home schooling is better than kindergarten.
Both the child and the parent’s nerves are safe
Recently, there have been more frequent cases when unscrupulous nannies or teachers not only raise their voices on children, but can raise their hands! I admit, this was one of the main reasons why we abandoned the kindergarten. The same goes for private nannies.
And when the baby is at home, I can always follow her. Always up to date with her well-being and every scratch. At least now I’m sure that the bruise appeared because she was running carelessly, and not because of someone else.
Along with all the other pluses that I will describe below, the mother's heart calmed down. Valerian had to be postponed along with excitement. Well, of course, I started to get enough sleep.
All attention is only for the child!
All attention, all games, every action is focused exclusively on our baby. There are no other kids like in the kindergarten. There, the teacher needs to think through many nuances to cover the majority of the group, but there is no such need at home.
And all this does not stop me from working or doing household chores. I can cook, and my daughter will help, in the process we play and learn. It is very fun and practical!
No negative emotional stress
“Negative experience is also experience,” says all lazy parents. And we want our child to gain positive from childhood, and any negative could quickly forget.
Therefore, home schooling has become the perfect solution! At home, I myself decide that my daughter can watch what to do, what games will be more interesting and positively affect development.
In the kindergarten, the teacher can not keep track of all the children, so there are quarrels and squabbles, which is bad for the emotional state of the child.
No additional costs for the kindergarten
This, of course, is a considerable plus. The kindergarten requires a lot of investments and costs, even if it is state-owned and “free”. Remember how you took your kids to kindergarten, and there you constantly had to invest in something? From toilet paper to room repair.
When we switched to home schooling, all costs were minimized!
- Firstly, because the daughter has better lunch now, and purchases are made for the whole family, and the costs are less than for the canteen;
- Secondly, toys ceased to wear out so quickly, because nobody but their daughter uses them;
- Thirdly, the need to carry a child to kindergarten has disappeared, respectively, the cost of gasoline is reduced.
Among other things, now there is no problem with organizing time! In the morning we walk while others rush to the kindergarten, then we study, play, sleep, go for a walk again and study again. And I can change places at any time!
Rapprochement with the baby
Of course, a kindergarten is a good platform for developing social skills. But the same effect can be achieved if you take the baby to special group classes or just go for a walk in the yard, where the rest of the mothers walk.
Having switched to home schooling, I became even closer to my daughter. My authority has increased in her eyes, since now I am not only a mother, but also a teacher and friend for games.
So I can follow her successes, interests, predict hobbies. She noticed that her daughter likes to draw more than sculpt from plasticine - she presented a set for drawing. My daughter is now glowing with happiness, and I am glad that I gave the basis for my baby's future hobby.
Although all of the above reasons are the main advantages, they are far from the only ones. Many other advantages can be distinguished, including the need to develop babies in the right direction.
For example, at home I can take into account all the gastronomic addictions of my daughter, as well as her tastes in reading and cartoons. In kindergartens there is no such freedom for development.
Some of my mom's acquaintances do not understand me and are simply afraid to spend so much time with children and take responsibility. What do you think?
