Does anyone have a recommendation? I see Sonlight Psychology, Homeschool Psych, Introduction to Psychology from a Christian Perspective. I do not see any pre-requisites listed for any of these. Do any of you parents have some experience with these curriculums or perhaps another one? Thanks!
I haven’t used them but have looked into all of them! I don’t think there are any prerequisites. I was most drawn to the Seven Sisters guide myself.
My daughter used the Intro to Christian Psychology by Tim Tice with his online class her sophomore year. She also took Psych 101 at college as a dual enroll d senior. She found Dr Rice’s ok, lots of worldview focus. It wasn’t what she expected, but she learned. The college class was typical, but she enjoyed it, too, and found having an established world view of her own useful in all college classes.
Thanks, Ladies. Melanie, why were you drawn to that curriculum. And Missceegee, why was it not what your daughter was expecting? My daughter has expressed an interest in pursuing psychology as a career, but she also is currently taking vision therapy to help her with learning/reading/processing information. I want to address her interest, but I do not want to crush it with too heavy of a course. Thanks!
Cindy, I liked the fact that it looked interesting while the others I looked at seemed very dry. It also looks like a great introduction to psychology that doesn’t get too technical for the beginning psychology student.
CindyS, I asked my daughter her thoughts on Dr. Rice’s class. Bear in mind, she used his book w/ his class. She responded via a quick text.
[The class] was not scientific, which I get that psychology is a lot of unknown, but I wanted more science behind it. He was a nice man, but would’ve been better suited to a Bible class or something of that nature. The classes were long and not very open for discussion. It was a lot of him projecting his worldview and not examining other thoughts. I wanted a more open atmosphere with discussion, but it wasn’t what I got. Also the essays were all due at the same time within a month of starting class which didn’t make sense [because] the class was a whole semester. Overall, I wanted more science, less of him telling/strongly pushing his personal worldview and more of helping students form their worldview for themselves.
