Homeschooling How To Tip: Let your children teach each other. This is one of the very best ways to check exactly what your child understood from the original lesson. There are a number of benefits – let me count the ways 
*It highlights their learning and the gaps in comprehension for them.
* It makes them feel important.
* It is an opportunity for your child to genuinely give value to the family.
* It gives them the chance to understand that other people may learn differently – can you say “teach-able moment”?
* They come up with astonishingly creative ways to teach ideas that can inspire our homeschooling styles.
*Besides, this also helps to take care of the eternal question – how do I homeschool two (or more) children of different ages?
* It is a chance for you to sit down and have some tea!
This idea applies to us Moms just as much, there is nothing like having to teach an idea to make you really look at what you do understand about it.
