Book Cover & Preview Text
If you want more for your children than what public school can provide, then homeschooling offers a do-it-yourself approach, giving you tools to provide more in the way of family and social interaction, more learning, more passion, more individuality, more fun and more opportunity.
In short, homeschooling is all about you, your children and the needs of your family. And the best part is that you never have to feel like you are all alone in your journey, because resources and help are available at every turn, and you will find them right here in this book.

It is my hope that the information in this book will help you to gain the confidence and the knowledge needed to support your decision to homeschool. You can do it! This book will show you how. Read on...
