Methods of Education which I know

Would you call this Methods? Hmm...I am not sure. But that is one which caught my eye, It was introduced to by a friend of mine (of which I am very grateful!).

It is a home-schooling method called Charlotte Mason. However it is not necessarily for home-schooling only but her whole idea of how we should guide our children's growing years especially in the area of developing of habits. The following website will explain and resources are free. Of course, there are recommended books which you need to buy.

Her original books can be found here. A bit lenghty though.

A nearby blogger who applies the method - Teaching Our Own.

Another method of education which has taken the country by whirl wind is right brain education. Currently there are 3 schools in Malaysia - all just as expansive - approximately Rm100 per hour - only once a week.

(i) Shichida http://www.shichidamethod.com/
(ii) Hegeru http://www.heguru.com.my/
(iii) Tweedlewink http://www.rightbrainkids.com/

Their names would let you see that the first 2 are from Japan while the 3rd one is from US. From what I can understand, Pamela Sue Hickein went over to Japan and did some study with the founder of the Shihida method. Go to the website and you can get a free e-book. She also has a book called Right Brain Education which really did a good job in explaining the whole right brain concept.

For more of right brain, you can read a fellow bloggers Babylicious and Life Long Sharing.
