The Homeschooling Handbook

How to Make Homeschooling Simple, Affordable, Fun, and Effective

About this book

The mere thought of homeschooling can be overwhelming. What curriculum do I choose? What if we can't afford all the books? How do I schedule our time? Will my children become socially awkward recluses? What if I screw up my kids' education?! Lorilee Lippincott, a seasoned homeschooling mom, shows just how simple homeschooling can be. She and her husband taught their two kids in a one-bedroom apartment before picking up and moving the whole family to China. They've discovered that they don't need rooms full of books, educational toys, and other teaching tools, nor do they need schedules packed full of extracurricular activities, field trips, and social events. Perhaps even more importantly, they don't need to panic about making sure their kids turn out okay. It's actually all pretty simple, she tells readers.But homeschooling well does require some planning and dedication, and a book like The Homeschooling Handbook to be your guide. Here you'll find all your questions answered in Lippincott's straightforward, warm, and witty style. Topics covered include: How to instill curiosity and a love of learning
Types of homeschooling
Your socialization fears assuaged
How to create simple schedules and stick to them
Tips for keeping costs down
Teaching kids with disabilities
The benefits of play time
Legal requirements
How to avoid burnout
And much more!Full of anecdotes, interviews with other homeschooling families, and wisdom, this is a must-have for any family considering the homeschooling life.
