What inspired me to enter the education field?

My education degrees are in Business and MIS. I worked as a management consultant for 13 years before I decided to take a break and stay home with my young children. I got interested in teaching as a result of teaching my children. Early learning experts like Dr.Maria Montessori, Dr. Shichida, Dr. Doman have inspired me to create my own curriculum for my children. I started teaching my children with a concrete curriculum when they were only 10 months old. They absolutely loved the materials I had made for them. The benefits of such an early program brought about so many benefits. The obvious benefits were they started reading early on, communicated with rich vocabulary at a very early age. The best benefit is that they loved to learn!! My children are now 6 years old and are in the gifted program in their school. They have scored highly on IQ tests. I love teaching them new material and I can talk to them about current affairs from global warming to economic conditions and they can grasp what I say with ease. We have long discussions on many issues and I love their point of view. Many times, I think I am learning so much from them than the reverse. Children are geniuses and I truly believe in that.
