Homeschooling and worried you'll fail your child, especially as most of us aren't qualified teachers?

There’s plenty of advice out there; but none so potent as real-life help from homeschoolers who can tell you what worked – and what didn’t.

The Courageous Homeschooling Handbook Homeschool Help

Teaching Homeschool Reading, Writing And Math

What's special about this Handbook is that it brings the largest group of homeschooling families ever collected together to come up with the best advice to answer cries from the heart like this:

The trouble is when you homeschool you aren't just a parent, you are the teacher - and your skills are on show! It's such a relief to hear from fellow homeschoolers how they struggled and what helped. 

With suggestions from story writing ideas to setting up a family newsletter and writing to other people's pets, the Handbook brings together the best homeschool ideas for teaching writing.

Reading is another of those basics that others judge you by. The question: "Can she read yet?" comes back to haunt you. With unusual activities like setting up an indoor beach day with a cuddly toy crab to encourage your child to read about the seaside, there's plenty to spark your child's love of reading.

But the Handbook also has vital words of reassurance. The secret to success is getting your child to want to learn. You will see proof that you will succeed because homeschooling gives you the freedom to tailor your teaching to the pace of your child.

Math is another of the big hurdles to cross so it's great to see that, certainly up to high school, there are all sorts of ways to make numbes fun without having to go near a curriuclum.

But what if you hate math yourself, as I do?

Homeschool Challenges: Dyslexia, Anxiety, Autism

Despite some very good schools and highly committed teachers, overall school can be a thoroughly damaging environment if your child has autism, dyslexia or other special needs.

The stories homeschoolers share of the distress their children have suffered break your heart. Sadly, bullying is always a problem in school and, if your child has special needs, it’s horribly common.

Every child is different so don't expect an A-Z list of suggestions, but the Courageous Homeschooling Handbook has some wonderfully helpful techniques and methods that can  help you homeschool in a way that suits the individual needs of your child.

What's more, you will come away with the conviction that you can do better than school.

You will hear the same story from homeschoolers who have removed their child from school because they suffer from anxiety.

The Handbook also covers one of the commonest questions I get asked: how to homeschool when you have children of different ages. It ends by giving you the essential costs involved so that, now you know homeschooling is the best choice for your child, you can see that money doesn't need to hold you back.
