A Practical and Empowering Homeschooling Guide Oct 21, 2009
By Reign Chelsin
This guidebook/memoir is intended for parents who are interested in homeschooling their children but are unsure if it is the right decision for their family, if they will be able to excel at it or perhaps they simply require a clearer view of what a typical homeschooling day looks like.
Within the pages of this book is the story of one Canadian family's journey from their first decision to homeschool through to the day-to-day lifestyle that is homeschooling. The author discusses a range of topics such as societal matters, homeschooling philosophies and central issues pertaining to homeschooling but also gives very specific, detailed year-by-year descriptions of the fundamentals of homeschooling each age.
The book is divided into nine chapters: The first chapter, The Source, introduces us to our protagonist in this story: a mother who we find reminiscing about a friendship that has stood the test of time and poses the question of how two similar people could choose such divergent paths. In the second chapter, Currents, western society is closely examined, it's changing landscape, its trends and how one may arrive at the decision to homeschool their children. In The River Bed, a discussion of major homeschooling philosophies are outlined with specific details on the approach utilized within this book. The next five chapters are devoted to explaining each year's changing characteristics with fine detail and a wealth of specific information. In addition to this are narratives of representative homeschooling days for each year. The last chapter, Port of Call, draws us back to our main character and sets the stage for the next step.
To the Shore of a Child's Ocean, Part One: Homeschooling from Birth to Age Nine is a highly instructive, honest, sensible and informative look at homeschooling. It is an account of how parents can help guide their children to an auspicious future. I highly recommend this book to any parent who is considering homeschooling their children.
