The homeschool community is not exempt from this pressure, but longtime educator Leslie Martino shows parents how to slow down to recapture the delight and depth that are hallmarks of meaningful learning. In The Joy of Slow, she offers practical guidance on:\ncreating daily rhythms that celebrate the ordinary and make space for spontaneity supporting children as they explore personal interests and engage in self-directed learning tracking students’ progress in ways that might be overlooked by traditional assessments prioritizing connection with other people and the natural world While parents of young children are more likely to embrace a slow childhood that nurtures wonder and imagination, panic often sets in as kids grow older, and parents worry about preparing them for the world beyond school. These fears are exacerbated by learning challenges, unspoken competition among peers, and standardized assessments. The Joy of Slow offers a much-needed reset, inspiring parents to prioritize the needs of each individual child and to help them find renewed freedom and passion.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593713184\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593713184.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Martino, Leslie M.|Arment, Ainsley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
