Gives Children A Love Of Learning
This course is so much better than searching for all the free content online! I’ve learned so many things about chickens that I didn’t even know to ask and my kids keep asking for the “chicken class” every time they see the computer – they LOVE it.
My oldest HATES writing and it’s usually a battle to get him to spell anything… but when I asked him to write down the breeds of chickens he wants and to put them in alphabetical order, he couldn’t have been more excited!
This course gives children a love of learning and a confidence and sense of self-esteem that they don’t always get at school or from other subjects they struggle with. This can help them overcome troublesome behaviors that are so exhausting to parents.
