Cultivating Thankfulness
Small children have the beautiful gift of being completely present in each moment they are in.
These cards are filled with great information that’s not overwhelming for my child to understand! Thank you for these!
I love having activities to do during summer!
I’ve been using the peaceful press for 3 years and I listen to your podcast! Can you please advise what you did when frustration and tears happened (in regards to math). My 6 year old is very advanced and knew his multiplication table by the time he was 4. I didn’t want to slow him down and he understands and can do everything at about a “4th” grade level. But he just gets upset and says it’s too hard and he doesn’t want to do it anymore. I don’t want to give in and let him do an easier math… or just change gears and focus more on other things in this season because it’s one of the fundamentals. What did you do? What would you do?
Thank you! You’re such an inspiration and I hope I can lead a life and family with the grace that you have!
Preparing for our first week and can’t wait! The curriculum is so beautifully balanced, providing lots of opportunity for hands-on learning, practical life skills, and fun exploration in nature while still ensuring that phonics and math concepts are being reinforced in a variety of ways. Honestly this curriculum brings out all the things I love about Sonlight Curriculum without being overkill and burdensome as Sonlight can tend to be with its long list of recommended daily tasks. The preparation and daily amount of tasks with Nourishing Nature appears very manageable. Also love that there is a handwriting component! I can already foresee the joy this is going to bring our family!
So far we are really enjoying the Peaceful Preschool curriculum. I like the flexibility, easily integrated activities and fun books! My son does as well ;) We are starting the curriculum in the spring and doing the letters at first in the order of his name. So some of the Christmassy or fall activities I've had to scramble around for more seasonally appropriate ones. But it's totally doable! The one piece of negative feedback I have is this: We purchased the digital bundle and printed everything out on normal paper. Now I've realized I need to print the preschool printouts on a thicker cardstock paper. It would have been nice to have some instruction or recommendation related to that written in the email from our purchase.
Definitley excited for more Peaceful Press in our home!
