I wanted to give my kids a few key points of learning and I was looking for a great place to start. I figured that History was a great essential learning point and it helped that your article pointed out how many times people in modern times reference the figures of the early centuries and not being in the know about them might leave them left out of discussions. This especially helps because history is one of the hardest subjects at school and getting a good headstart could mean all the difference. I’ll be searching for any place that offers history books that are easy to read for my kids so they can start easily. Thank you!

Thanks for pointing out that learning history will give children a new perspective about the problems they face in their own lives. I feel like history is often graced over in children’s education, which is a shame because it offers so much knowledge to help them perceive and interpret the world around them. I learned a lot about the benefits of teaching history to kids, so thanks for sharing this info!

In reply to Bethany Birchridge. As far as history, following rabbit trails of interest is probably the best method to engage your kids. Another great method is to include history projects and interesting books.

I loved the idea of using history to study character as well. My friend wants to home school her child, as he’s autistic and frequently getting bullied. I think she’d be interested in all the ways you can use history to teach moral and geographical lessons. What are some methods to engage your children in home school?
