If there is a thread out there already, please direct me to it. I did a quick search and didn't find anything.
We will be starting a wall timeline this year. When I was discussing this with my dh, I told him that my understanding was that you put items on as you study them/talk about them. He wants to put items on the timeline that he considers major turning points in history as benchmarks. While I don't disagree with that, I have a hard time having items up there that we haven't talked about. It doesn't seem like she would make a connection with it. Dd is 6.
So here's the question - I will honor my husband and we will have the items on the timeline by the end of the year that he thinks we should have on there. But I would like to do so in a way that I am comfortable with as well. Is it okay to put some items up without covering them or should we find a picture book about the events to read before we put it on the timeline? We'll end up covering it in greater detail later, but do a cursory overview to start with?
Thanks!
