We tend to teach the way that we learn. Makes sense, doesn't it? But the big question is how do each of your children learn? Do they learn the same way that you do? Do you know your children's learning style? Do you know your children's personal traits and skills and how they enhance or impede their learning progress? Do you know your children's personality types and how knowing the personality types will help you to motivate and improve your communication with them? How do you find out all these things about your children and then how do you use this knowledge to create a personal learning profile for them? Once you have these learning profiles, what teaching strategies do you use to meet your children's needs? Lots of questions!
Guess what? We have the answers!! Tune in to the Homeschool Tacklecast and learn how to create and use Personal Learning Profiles and take your teaching skills to a whole new level.
Love Language Power
Can you speak your child’s love language? If you want your child to feel loved, valued and accepted, you need to speak their language. If your child’s love language is different than yours, you need to express love to them in their language not yours. Research confirms that people who grow up feeling loved are happier, more resilient, and do better in school and life. Today’s podcast will show you how to determine you and your child’s love language and how to speak all five love languages. Implementing this knowledge will create closer relationships and make you a better parent, spouse, friend and teacher.

Understanding the Art of Communication
Teaching is all about being an effective communicator. In today’s episode, we will be talking about ways to improve your communication skills. We will show you that your nonverbal and verbal communication must match for your messages to be understood. We will share with you how to use I Messages when you must correct behavior. We also will talk about the importance of using the technique of Reflective Listening to truly understand what your loved ones are saying and feeling. You will also learn about the theory of Transactional Analysis which explains that all people communicate with three ego states, the child, parent and adult, which refers to the ways that we think, feel and behave, changing across time and contexts. Understanding these concepts and implementing new strategies will help you to sidestep some of the pitfalls that can sideline your teaching day when communication channels seem to break down.

Learning Readiness
How do you know if your child’s brain is ready for what you are teaching? Knowing your
child’s cognitive development stage will enable you to introduce concepts when your
child is ready to comprehend them. Understanding Piaget’s developmental stages and

information for a teacher. In today’s podcast, we show you how to access your child’s
learning readiness along with a discussion about learning styles.

Exploring the Art and Heart of Teaching
Nancy Piercy and Sue Nothstine, authors, and veteran teachers, introduce themselves and present an overview of their new podcast, Homeschool Tacklecast. Nancy and Sue think that it is important that homeschool educators know their children as learners so they can teach the way every child learns best, as defined by the data from the learning profile.
Each episode of the podcast will explain how an educator can create and add new information to an individual learning profile for each of their children. The hosts then discuss strategies to implement the profile. The overview includes brief discussions about learning styles and readiness; the importance of knowing each child’s personality; and fun activities, referred to as nibblers, that provide invaluable information about a child’s character traits and skills.
