If you have heard my philosophy, you know I strongly emphasize history. In teaching children chronologically through history, a timeline is especially helpful. Very often in the seminars I teach, it becomes difficult to talk at length about history timelines.  This episode covers my general approach to history, why I recommend creating history timelines with your children, and my tips and tricks to timelines.
