Homeschooling: What to Do When You Want to Quit – $0.99
Whether you’re just starting out or are already a seasoned homeschooler, discouragement hits us all at one point or another. We all doubt our decisions, worry about curriculum choices, and have moments of sheer panic. The inner voice asks, “What am I doing? This is crazy! I can’t educate my children at home!” Or maybe that voice screams out in frustration, “I’m utterly spent. I can’t take one more minute of confusing fractions, tedious read alouds, or messy science experiments!”
This book addresses nearly every potential frustration point that a homeschool mom faces. We tackle the irritations that make you want to throw in the towel for good:
**having toddlers and babies along for the ride
**working from home while homeschooling
**high school!
**feeling under-appreciated
**feeling inadequate as a teacher
**having your own emotional meltdowns
**handling things solo as a single mom or one whose husband is frequently away from home
**raising a special needs child
**dealing with a family crisis, job loss, or a move
**being burned out
**feeling the criticism of others, maybe even family members or your own husband
**being totally unorganized with school record keeping
**living in a messy, chaotic, loud house
How We Teach: the real lives of homeschoolers from classical to unschooling and everything in between is the newest collaborative book from the bloggers at iHomeschool Network.
Maybe you are a homeschool mom of elementary aged children, using the Charlotte Mason method, and you are curious about what an unschooling house looks like. Maybe you are inspired by the classical method, but want to see some real world examples of what that method looks like in the homes of middle school to high school level students. Maybe you are just simply eclectic at heart and want to pull ideas from all of the other methods and create your personalize road map for your homeschool.
If you have ever wondered what a homeschool season looks like in another person’s home, this is the book for you. If you need some help in the creativity department when it comes to math, history, fine arts and more, look no further.
Take a look at the table of contents to see the breadth of topics our homeschool experts have written about in this 220+ page volume. We asked each contributor to pull a homeschool method, a subject, and an age range, and then write about how exactly they teach in their own unique way. You’ll be astonished to see that homeschooling is definitely not one size fits all.
