My oldest is currently in a Reggio Emilia preschool. I wanted her to start interacting with kids since we live in a rural area. She loves it, I love it! It’s been really great. When we start true homeschooling we might stick with it for another year or so but I’m leaning towards Charlotte Mason as well

Reggio Amelia is the teaching/learning style that appealed to me most when I went to college but I don’t hear about it in the homeschool world. I started pretty traditional, completely flip flopped to unschooling, and now I fall more into the charlotte mason camp in this season. I love how homeschool can look so different in different homes and seasons.

We did classical conversations for a while and we loved it. We did end up quitting once my oldest got into the second level (moving from the elementary level to like 4th grade) and he got too stressed out. It isn't for everyone. They go over the same thing (and I love the resources they use and we still use it just in a different way) for three years not expecting them to fully learn it but to gain more from it each year. My child stresses out if he doesn't master something before moving on so it didn't work for him as they moved on before he was ready.

The simplest answer I could give is to say we're eclectic homeschoolers. But the deeper answer is we do what works for parents and students, the season of life, interests, time constraints, etc. When my kids were young, I leaned heavily on Montessori-style activities. We love the living books of Charlotte Mason, the main lesson books of Waldorf, and the lapbooks and notebooks created with unit studies. For math, we usually approach a traditional style with enrichment and "math tables" based on interests.

I like the classical style and educational model, my first year of homeschooling I chose all my curriculum from recommendations in The Well-Trained Mind. But I’m also a relaxed type-B homeschooler. So it’s an interesting combination. 😂 Maybe it’s a good thing and keeps things less intense for my kiddos. We’ve never tried CC, though. Definitely love bringing in ALL the books too! Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it.

This was super helpful for me, as I sift through different approaches in preparation for my daughter’s first year of school. I’m a former Montessori assistant guide, so that’s definitely where I’m most comfortable and confident as a teacher. (Plus I still have some of my old materials.) Charlotte Mason really appeals to me as well, so I wonder how well the two pedagogies would play together. 🤔 If I’m not mistaken, Mason and Montessori were contemporaries, but Mason wasn’t too keen on Montessori’s approach.

@@nicolechatfield2464 I'm glad this helped in some way. Check out the book Wild and Free, your library might even have it for interlibrary loan. It goes a bit further with some of the information and a lot of the people involved with Wild and Free would classify themselves the way you are describing.

I definitely learn along my children, but they don't know what they don't know, so I make sure they're exposed to a lot of different subjects and topics and skills, and when they gravitate towards something, I make sure they have plenty of time for it without abandoning others.

I lean classical when I focus too much on external artificial standards and a desire to pay myself on the back. Then I catch myself and remember that's not an attitude I'm wanting to pass on. My favorite reference point is CM, but I am not a purist. So eclectic for sure.

Haha, that's totally fine. There is value in learning different philosophies of education but there is also harm if someone feels boxes in. Eclectic is a great place to land.
