As I’ve said before, I think learning from other people’s experiences is the best way to learn about homeschooling. And if anyone has experience, it’s Kathie Morrissey and Donna Reish. These ladies have been homeschooling for sixty years between them! Both started in the 80s, when homeschooling wasn’t even a “thing.” They have used their extensive experience to compile a list of sixty helpful tips they have learned over the years.
I had the opportunity to preview this book before its release, and let me tell you, I am so grateful I did! I caught myself nodding my head and saying, “oh that makes sense!” so many times during the reading. I learned so much, and had so much that I already knew confirmed, just from reading this book. My favorite tip from the book is, “stay home more.” I know we definitely have a problem with that. Right now we are out of the house most days. And while getting out and experiencing the world around us is awesome, and some things just can’t be helped, it definitely takes its toll on our homeschool routines. You can also find tips on organization, how to include dad in your school, and, another personal favorite, “eat a frog every morning.”
I love the format of this book. Each tip is one page. So you can read the book all the way through, as I did, or easily go straight to what you need advice on right now.
This book is written from a Christian perspective, and many of the tips relate to religious and character education. Though this doesn’t apply to all homeschoolers, I think that there are many tips that are universal. Though I am not Christian, I would consider the $5 cost of this book an excellent investment. It is full of inspiration and encouragement that applies to everyone.
You can go here to buy this e-book now for only $5. And the authors have been so generous as to give us TWO copies of the e-book to give away to two lucky readers. Also, be sure to check out The Character Corner website to enter the grand prize giveaway!
So many great tips! I agree! I also loved the format of the book. Great to use as a reference manual or to sit down and read from cover to cover. Good stuff!
I've been reading this too and really getting a lot out of it. Wish I had it a few years ago, but glad to have it now!
I'm a newbie to homeschooling and would love a copy of this eBook! I could use all of the inspiration I can get my hands on. :) Thanks!
