My Children do this often too. And when I am the teacher and there is what I think, is a new topic to learn. They prove me wrong! Famous words from my youngest,” My Sister taught me this already’. I love it!

I have found this to be very true as well and have witnessed my 7 year old teach my 4 year old and my 4 year old teach my 2 year old and I just LOVE it!! I always think to myself “I love homeschooling!” when I see this in action, and *smile* out loud.

I completely agree. I’ve seen this over and over in the past twelve years of our homeschool program.

Just today my son was researching the healthcare reform debate. I asked him a question and he responded with the standard abstract, media rhetoric. I asked him what that meant and told him that he wasn’t done until he could explain it to his twelve year old brother. He went back to work and in about twenty minutes he had rewritten the rhetoric in plain language and then successfully taught his brother what the debate was about.

Excellent post.

Great post! One of my favorite “assignments” is to ask my children create a lesson plan and activity for a younger grade.

Our daughter does this with her younger brother all the time ~ she’s always teaching him something, but as of late it’s been singing & piano playing.
