TO THE POINT: WHAT TO FOCUS ON WHEN
February 24, 2023

WHAT TO FOCUS ON WHEN

As one grows in your own homeschool journey you get to a point where you can reflect back on what was important during all the Child Development phases. Here a summary:

Preschool phase (0-5yrs) – Have an interesting life and involve children in it

Foundation phase (6-8yrs) – Learn to read and write well

Primary school phase (9-12yrs) – Exposure to wide variety of knowledge, skills and adventures

Junior high school (13-15yrs) – focus on interests development and figure out what child wants to do when done with formal ‘school’

Young adult (16-19yrs) – get an appropriate qualification ‘fit for purpose’ to do what the child wants to do after ‘school’

Below a diagram summarizing the this including all the qualification options. Hope this is something that is useful for you as a reader as well.


Until next time, Willemien
