| Complete Curriculum Divulges the Psychological Aspects of Homeschooling Posted: 13 Sep 2010 12:42 PM PDT  -Flat Rock, MI – September 13, 2010– Many people think that there are negative affects to homeschooling. However, studies prove just the opposite. When you make the choice to homeschool your child, you can give your child a customized education. A traditional school education provides students with a set curriculum that cannot be changed or altered depending on a child's learning abilities. This directly affects how a child responds to learning in general. Education lesson plans are provided through digital education content, so children are able to learn at their own pace. Dr. Raymond Moore, an expert in human development, has proven that parents are the best people to socialize their child. His studies have shown that a homeschooled child shows more self-confidence. Dr. Patricia Lines completed a study that showed homeschooled children have less behavioral issues. Many parents worry that there are not enough physical activities provided for homeschooled children. If you look in your community, you can find several wonderful opportunities for your child to compete and interact with other children. Parents that homeschool their children find that volunteering services provide a great way for children to learn the importance of giving. These projects allow a child to think that they are contributing to the greater good. A homeschool curriculum is both fun and challenging. With a digital content education, you can take the lesson plans wherever you have Internet access. "The children curriculum provides an education customized specifically for your child," stated a completecurriculum.com representative. About Complete Curriculum Complete Curriculum provides students with the Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies digital textbooks. The Website makes it easy to gain access and download information. Complete Curriculum provides parents with a great opportunity to impact their child's life by giving your child the chance to experience education in a hands-on format.

| Kim Bensen: Dieting on the job ... and at home Posted: 13 Sep 2010 10:44 AM PDT
If it wasn't for Mark's health issues, I really don't think much would have changed for me. I'd still be homeschooling my kids, driving the mom taxi, volunteering, and I'd be busy ... at home. But God had other plans. Today, I'm still at home (can you believe it?). And each weekday morning when the last school bus heads down the street, the first three employees arrive, pulling into the lower driveway which accesses our offices. Thirty minutes later, two more. And so on ... all day long ... in our home. My kitchen is still filled with light treats, but now, I'm not the only one making them. And when the boys arrive home at the end of the day, they check to see if the "on air" light is lit before stepping into the set kitchen and are greeted by many more than just mom and dad. This week we're talking about strategies for weight loss on-the-job. As you can see, the one thing I've personally never had to deal with is dieting at work. As a weight loss leader, though, I've heard it all. The horror stories of fattening treats in the teacher's lounge (I personally think all teachers are on diets and their weight loss leaders tell them to bring their left-over cakes to work to get it out of the house). I've heard of pushy colleagues who BEG to get you to try the most wonderful home-made family recipe that they made especially "just for you". Members have shared their woes of saboteurs and day-long conferences where the only thing to eat was pizza. Worst of all are the stories of dieters trapped in the food-service industry, preparing and serving tantalizing concoctions all day long. Our hats are off to you! But the great thing about my job is that I also get to hear all the solutions that people come up with. One gal, who had already lost more than 45 pounds, was encouraged to "polish off" the rest of her boss's birthday cake. So she did. Slice by slice Lana finished that cake. Each piece went into the toilet and disappeared with a great big flush as Lana grinned from ear to ear. Cake gone. Hips intact! Sarah has become the official birthday cake supplier for her office. Everyone chips in a few dollars and LOVES the fact that she's responsible for the strawberry layer cake (sugar free, of course). Gina has asked for the Skittles on the reception desk be changed to Resse's Pieces. She's allergic to peanut butter! The pedometer hanging from the lanyard around Frederik's neck hasn't helped only him, it's been a contagious force throughout his warehouse. It seems a competition of sorts has evolved as coworkers strive to see who can walk the most steps. The pedometer history doesn't lie. (Who says testosterone died with the cavemen?) The theme that I've noticed throughout my entire career is this ... weight loss isn't easy at work OR at home. If it were, everyone would be thin. But there are two kinds of people in dieting. Those who are fully committed to DOING it find ways to overcome their obstacles. Those who aren't, use the obstacles as reasons why they can't overcome. Remember, we're never given more than we can handle.

I'm not like many people--I never worked outside the home. I went to college. Got my degree. Then worked for my mom as a graphic designer in her home-based business. Soon after Mark and I were married, Aleeta entered our world, then Adam. For fifteen years I was a stay at home mom (though I don't understand that term because I was rarely at home). Mark and I had so much fun raising our first two that when they were in their early teens we said, "That was fun, let's do it again." Alan and Andrew arrived and life continued ... at home.| You are subscribed to email updates from Yahoo!
