Child-Led Learning // How to Make Harry Potter a Homeschool Curriculum

The Parenting Junkie takes us on a journey through child-led learning. Child led learning is when you follow the child’s interest and allow them to learn through that interest they have. As opposed to parent led learning, childled learning still involves parents but more as a support system than the leader of the learning. In this video you’ll see how to apply Harry Potter to homeschooling. In Harry Potter homeschool you can learn literacy, math, the arts, even entrepreneurship all through the lens of Harry Potter. This approach is not radical unschool it’s more of a child led homeschool. In child-led homeschool you teach through the child’s interest (in this case Harry Potter) as opposed to following a set curriculum. This Harry Potter curriculum culminated with a Harry Potter Birthday Party. In this Harry Potter homeschool curriculum video you’ll see how you can expand on your child’s topic of interest to learn everything.

5:09 – middle of the road approach

Adult Tantrums: Is Yelling at Our Kids Effective?

The Parenting Junkie takes on the topic of adult tantrums. Have you ever had a full blown temper tantrum? Maybe it didn’t look quite like your child’s temper tantrums in which they throw themselves on the floor and hit, kicked and screamed but you yourself have also yelled when your emotions got the best of you. Adult temper tantrums happen, I am not immune to them either. In one of my tantrums I find myself yelling at my kids. Do you find yourself yelling at your child. Yelling at kids can do serious damage. If we are unable to calm down how can we expect our children to calm down? If you find yourself screaming at your kids this video will help. Also, stayed tuned for the next video where I will share the practical steps to use in the heat of the moment to stop yelling at kids.

From sex to money: the eight deep discussions that can save a dying relationship

No Comments on From sex to money: the eight deep discussions that can save a dying relationship

John and Julie Gottman have devised dates for ailing couples – but how many are ready for this level of openness and sincerity?

How often do we really talk to our partners? About the big stuff, not about childcare arrangements, or what the funny noise coming from the fridge means? According to a study at the University of California, Los Angeles, couples with small children, and who both have careers, talk for just 35 minutes a week, and mainly about errands. That study, says John Gottman, “alarmed” him and his wife, Julie. “It seemed like couples who had been together a long time were not taking care of the relationship – their curiosity in one another had died,” he says.

Gottman, the renowned relationships researcher known for his work on divorce predictors, and Julie Schwartz Gottman, a psychologist, have been married for 32 years. They founded the Gottman Institute, which conducts research and trains therapists. Their Gottman method is an approach designed to repair and deepen relationships, concentrating on three main areas – “friendship, conflict management and creation of shared meaning”. They have also written many books, together and separately. Their latest book, which they wrote as a couple, is Eight Dates. It guides couples through eight conversations – to have on dedicated dates – on the big issues such as sex, parenting and how to handle conflict. It was partly sparked by the rise of online dating and to provide new couples with a roadmap to navigate tricky subjects, but mainly to give long-term couples a project to steer their relationship to a better place. “Couples who have been together for quite a long time create a relationship that grows stale with time, and they lose track of one another,” says Julie. “People evolve over time. They change.”
