Have you ever thought that because of their years of hands-on experience, your home-taught daughters have a distinct advantage over their government-schooled peers in the home economics department? Well, that is not always true. Our girls had been sewing and cooking for more than ten years and I still got questions like, "Is corn a protein?" and "How do I change the darts in this dress?"
Even the best of teachers will have undetected gaps in their lessons, an issue which may not be as critical when teaching geography as it is for home economics. If you would like to introduce your twelve to eighteen-year-old daughter to the homemaking skills that she will need, then Christian Light's Home Economics course is a great first step. Rich with hands-on learning opportunities, this course covers food preparation, sewing, child development, homemaking, and godly womanhood. Ten economically printed workbooks in a handy slipcase make it easy for a parent to customize the coursework for a child if necessary. For instance, there is some information in the workbook on womanhood that I would not find necessary to share with any young teen.
Published by Mennonites, I love the gentle and peaceful perspective that these workbooks display; they are highly recommended. Because the coursework assumes virtually no prior experience, this program can be suitable for students as young as twelve. |
