Thanks for the warm welcome.  I love homeschooling.  I think for parents that are doing any sort of early educational programs with their children it is just a natural next step.  As for socialization, I guess it depends on how many kids you have and how often you interact with other people.  My children are very social.  We lived on an island in Belize all of their lives.  WE just recently moved to Florida to pursue our business.  The kids would not see people on a daily basis, but when they did, they were very engaging and talkative.  My nieces and nephews, who attend school, will barely even say hello to us.  I believe that social skills have a lot to do with the parents.  I am in agreement with you on wanting my children my children to have a great education and the most opportunities in life.  That is why I have chosen to home school them.  Besides, they grow up so fast, I can't imagine not having them around all the time.    Krista G.

I have found that children just absorb the scriptures, with no effort.   I would read a Psalm to the children before bed.  After 2 nights, they would be filling in the last word of each verse.  Within a week, they would know them.  Just choose a passage ad repeat it often.

There is also a great CD available from www.nogreaterjoy.org.  It is called Bible ABC's.  It has a scripture for each letter of the alphabet and it is sung and then the chapter and verse are sung as well.  It is such an easy way to teach children 26 verses of the Bible.

Hello,

My name is Krista and I am a mom to 6 homeschooled children.  I learned about Glenn Doman when my 4th was almost 1.  My life has not been the same since.  I want to share this information with the world.  Last year I launched my company Intellectual Baby.  We have a product line called Monki See Monki Doo, they are videos and flash cards that teach babies to read.  We also have a lot of information on the sites.  Feel free to visit www.intellbaby.com or www.monkisee.com.  I can't wait to give and receive advice from everyone here.  Thanks for having me
