Mission statement: On this blog we explore why homeschooling can be a better option for children and families than a traditional classroom setting. We'll also explore homeschooling issues in general, educational thoughts, family issues, and some other random stuff.

Nice reminder that simple acts of kindness can be powerful
I have been looking through some of your old posts on TED talks as I want my children to start watching them.
1) Do you have a list of talks that you've suggested that your children watch?
2) How do you deal with children's email addresses? I'm contemplating creating email addresses for my children so I can communicate with them while I'm at work (send links, etc), but my oldest is only 10.
Jay, I apologize for taking so long to respond. I've been distracted by some local politics.
I do have a Google spreadsheet of TED talks I have asked my children to watch. I'll create a post with a list of my favorites.
We haven't let our childre have email addresses until they are 11 or 12. We reserve the right to read their email. Another option you might consider is setting up a Skype account for them. My 11-year-old loves to Skype with me.
