What About Socialization?

Living, playing and homeschooling in the Chicago suburbs.

That clears EVERYTHING right up!

So I’ve been gathering together a couple of resources for the co-op’s PE program in the fall. One of the other board members, who taught public school in her pre-homeschooling-mama life, passed along her early 1980s college textbook on the subject, in hopes that I might be able to sift a few ideas out of the dated educationese.

And now I see what I’ve missed out on. If only I had THIS chart when I began our homeschooling journey, things would’ve been different. I would’ve known exactly how to best effect a positive self-concept in my child. Instead I’ve had to muck around without completely inscrutable flowcharts. Poor kid, I hope she’s not scarred too badly.The etiology of a child’s self-concept.

So you all will be spared my fate, I have chosen to share my discovery with you here. My eternal gratitude to the committee of experts who produced this groundbreaking chart.

    Wow. What if the task is not porous and the arrow of approach bounces back in to the fields of frustration and deviant behavior? Does it tell you how to permeate the task eventually or doe sit just assume every shot is a bulls eye? I need to know.
