My daughters are 4.5 and almost 10. The youngest hasn’t yet expressed a particular interest in any period of history–although she does like geography, particularly maps, and the oldest had a long fascination with ancient Greece, but recently, she seems to have moved on to an interest in WWI and WWII.
My boys still at home are 16, 14, 12, 12 , and 10. They all really enjoy both Medieval and early American history. They enjoy learning about the trades such as blacksmithing, and animal husbandry, as well as the story of their own Christian faith during those time periods.
My kids are (almost) 10, 5, and 3. My oldest isn’t much of a history fan, but even he enjoyed learning about daVinci. My middle child doesn’t have a set period, but she loves learning about England. As for the 3 year old, he doesn’t have much to say about history yet; but in his heart, I’m pretty sure he’s a Viking 🙂
My kids are 6 and 5, and they are interested in Ancient Egypt and medieval history. Thanks!
My boys are 9 and 12 and love historical fiction. My oldest loves any history, but recently is interested in WWI and WWII. The 9 year old has become interested in ancient times, particularly the 7 wonders of the world.
Our children are 9, 8, 5, 3, and 4 months. We love studying history. Right now we have been focused on the World War II era.
My kids are 6, 8, and 9. So far, they have loves medieval history. My son loves the knights and my daughters loved the castles!
My daughter is 7 and loves the colonial period.
My girls are 9, 7 & 2. They are very interested in Ancient Egypt.
Our children are 15, 12, 10, and 8. We love all history but seem to be drawn to the colonial period right now.
My children are 25, 19 and 14. I homeschool the 14 year old. He loves history of any time period.
My children are 9, 6, 4, and 1. My 9 year old is particularly fascinated by colonial times, and the relationship between the Native Americans and the colonists.
My current homeschool kids (I have two adult kids, too!) are 9 and 11. My 9 year old daughter is fascinated with the Civil War Period and my 11 year old son is a huge history buff. He’s currently studying the Cold War, but has focused on WWI and WWII recently, as well.
My children are 13 and 15 and our whole family is currently obsessed with the Revolutionary War! (Thanks Hamilton!)
My daughter is 13 and we study different periods simultaneously, but, she is definitely fascinated by the colonial period. Thank you for introducing this material.
My newly homeschooled children are 15 and 12. My 15 year old loves Ancient Greece and my 12 year old loves the Middle Ages.
My kids are 3, 6 and 8. And as of now, they don’t have a favourite historical period. Though this would definitely help to inspire that I’m sure!
This is our first year of homeschooling. My children are 11, 7, and 5. My 11 year old love the ancient Rome and Greek history. My 7 year old loves learning about Thomas Edison. My 5 year old hasn’t really picked a topic yet.
My kids are 4 and 6. The oldest is very interested in all things Egypt as well as early american history.
My girls are 4 and 6. They love history from the Bible! And that’s is the only history we have in our home school right now, but would love to add this to our schooling. Thank you for offering this opportunity!
My children are 12, 11, 9, 7, and 2. Right now they are reading through the Little House on the Prairie, and loving it. They all want to live off the land now. 🙂
We are a homeschool family with twin 13-year-old boys. Yes, it is very interesting around here these days. ???? My boys loved studying the ancient world. I did too! I’m enjoying history so much more while studying it with my kids. Somehow I didn’t quite get all the interesting parts of history while I was in the public school in the early 80s. ???? I remember it being a constant battle of learning names and dates. I am terrible at memorizing names and dates.???? Well, onward and upward! We are now coming into a period of studying the exploration of the Americas. I would love to be able to bring this alive to them. Thanks so much for this opportunity!
Our children are ages 7, 11, and 13 and we live learning about the Revolutionary War period and the very beginning of our country’s foundation.
My boys are 9, 6, and 3. The most fun we had was with early world history and early american history.
Our girls are 8 and almost 5, and are obsessed in a good way, with learning about the former presidents! The picture book, President Taft Got Stuck in the Bath, inspired their enthusiasm. 🙂
