A Survivor's Guide to Home SchoolingHome schooling may be one of the most important and rapidly growing social movements of the day, but that doesn't get the laundry done for home teaching moms! Here, at last, is help millions of home schoolers have been waiting for. Written by two home teaching moms, this book answers the questions home schoolers are asking: How can I prevent burnout? What do I do with my preschoolers while I teach? What if my child isn't "getting it?" How can my husband help? Writing with wisdom, candor and humor, the authors share the situations, solutions, successes and yes, even the failures home teachers face. A Survivor's Guide to Home Schooling offers practical suggestions, support, and encouragement, all in light of Scriptural guidelines. |
