Ask HN: Resources for parents of young children(like worksheets etc.)?

1 points by throwaway13000 6y ago ↗ HN

I have a 1st grader kid. I want to teach him various subjects in a structured way but I do not finding anything relevant online. Most of the stuff is worksheets which the school anyways gives us.

Any ideas what blogs/websites help me with this?

On a side note, what blogs do you read w.r.t parenting/educating children?

I don't think this is quite what you're looking for but I have these bookmarked for when my toddlers are a little older, to teach electronics.

Thanks for Kano recommendation. I have seen it in various videos. I think I will give it a try.

Doesn't Khan academy work for you? It's the best thing I have found for my kids.

Khan academy works. We do use it. But I am looking for something that also teaches about politics, philosophy, languages etc.

Also, I want a website which teaches me (the parent) on how/what to teach to the kids. For example, Kumon at this age makes him do additions of two digit numbers with speed. I am not sure if doing things fast is what Kumon should be teaching. I am not able to get guidance on whether or not I should concentrate onspeed vs more concepts.

I am sorry, I cannot help there, I would love a resource like that as well. Please post if you ever find something that fits that bill.
