I suggest Brainwashing, Mental Programming and How to use their brain. My
son will be partially homeschooled and i think that one of the most
important things any child can learn is how to operate themselves. How to
use their neurology.
This really requires some education and training on the part of the parents
as well and at least some basic familiarity with the concepts and
applications of imprinting and conditioning. As well, it would do well for
parents to be well-versed (or have someone someone else who is well-versed)
in applied behavioral technologies; NLP, Somatics, bio-electricity, etc . .
.
Also i think that its wonderful to have people that are good at things
around your child so that they have the opportunity to model the best
possible strategies from their environment. This is especially true when it
comes to the basics such as good communication, movement, sociability, etc .
. .
I think in large part what you teach your children should depend on three
major things. Your Intent for them, their other parents Intent for them, and
their own inclinations as they develop.
I also wholeheartedly agree with Alex's comments.
I also reccomend checking out http://www.liarmag.com/reality03.html
there are some interesting ideas about teaching children in that issue.
Best,
