Actress Mayim Bialik Chooses Homeschooling

In the article by Kate Tsubata in the New York Times entitled: Actress Mayim Bialik follows parenting instincts, Ms Tsubata explains why Ms. Bialik and her husband chose homeschooling.

….Home-schooling is a natural extension of their overall lifestyle.

‘We see what our son is interested in, and gently introduce new ideas. We listen to him and try not to overwhelm him, or push him when he’s not ready. Our general rule is, ‘Don’t fight the kid.’ We don’t do flashcards or sing the alphabet song when he shows an interest in letters, but when he asks ‘Can I make a name card for someone?’ we write out the name and let him trace out the letters.

It’s great to see public figures choose a simple lifestyle and make the choice to homeschool!
