The Benefits of Natural Math by Laura Grace Weldon

I can't post her blog post here but I can most certainly urge you to go visit it here! 

I have been speaking on this topic for years. Sadly, most of the people who I speak with are so badly damaged by their own 12 years of formal math education - and so convinced of their own inabilities to understand even basic math that they decide they need to double down on their failure with their children! They firmly believe that if they just find the BEST curriculum that it will make their children math geniuses. Sadly, of course, the truth is the exact opposite of that. Children need to be able to learn math through games, literature and other natural methods. 

Natural math worked for my children. Natural math has worked for many other families that I know as well. It is amazing! So, please visit the blog I have linked to here. Read her words. Trust in your children.
