Want smart kids? Do homeschool!!!

 

👌Just wanted to share the fruits of homeschooling; Being new to the practical homeschooling journey, I have come to realize that it sometimes can do miracles.

👉Every day, homeschooling is making my heartbeat with the concept.

👯I have two toddler daughters, who never saw the school. 

👩With the elder one,😳 I had no idea as to how to ignite her natural instinct of learning with which Allah has designed every child.

I interfered with her natural learning capabilities, and tried to control her learning which resulted in intelligence grew dim”. 😓

but with the younger child, I left her alone with the books and never made her sit up with the books 📖.while, she would voluntarily pick up her kindergarten books and start reading, reading them all wrong most of the time, stuttering, like a 3-year-old, usually, does. 😄 but I never corrected her 😶 on the journey and let her on her own, the way she wanted to. 

Guess what!!! 👏with time, I saw her correcting her own mistakes just by seeing her elder sister reading.👀

She got to learn to hold a pencil on her own.✐

💁I never, ever even once tried to spend my time to make her learn to hold a pencil properly. literally, no hard work. 

Tada!! suddenly, She started to make letters on her own tracing books, I did not intentionally try to teach her to start tracing letters.✍ 

📷Here is a page from her notebook. did I tell you I didn't teach her to write at all? and did it tell you she is 4 yet? 🙉 Barak Allahu 

To my utter surprise, she could write the letters without the help of dots, just in three months. 😲 And that is all without spending even small chunks of time, without spending a penny on tutors. 💰💸

She started to name the letters on her own. That’s also without doing any work with her for teaching her the names of the letters. 👺

When I compare her to my own elder daughter, she is doing much better in studies, 👌 she is by far a fast learner. I discern this is all because I didn't interfere with her learning process like I did with my elder kid. It is a whole lot different.💓

🏃with this experience, I came to the conclusion that Self-directed education is the only philosophy, through which we can make our child's natural capabilities thrive. No other method can. The contemporary education system only made us slaves and rot learners. while shutting off all the windows of our brain.

As John Holt, who coined the term “unschooling,” wrote in his book:

How Children Learn:

All I am saying in this book can be summed up in two words 

— Trust Children. Nothing could be more simple — or more

difficult. Difficult, because to trust children we must trust

ourselves — and most of us were taught as children that we

could not be trusted. And so we go on treating children as we

ourselves were treated, calling this “reality,” or saying bitterly,

“If I could put up with it, they can too.” What we have to do is

break this long downward cycle of fear and distrust, and trust

children as we ourselves were not trusted. To do this will take

a long leap of faith — but great rewards await any of us who

will take that leap.
