Home Schooling Guidebook – What Parents Need to Know

Click Image To Visit Site Did you know that in 2007 about 1,508,000 students or 2.9% of school-age children were home schooled? (Source: National Center for Education Statistics)

Homeschooling is not a new concept – Thomas Edison, Agatha Christie, Benjamin Franklin, and our Founding Fathers were educated at home. Yet today it’s even better! With our computers and technically advanced equipment, homeschooling offers students a far more creative and stimulating way to learn.



Although studies prove that the benefits of homeschooling far outweigh those of our private and public schools, only after pulling together information that paints a complete picture can you decide if homeschooling is right for you.

My wife and I are the proud parents of two boys, ages 7 and 4. Like most parents, we’ve tried to do whatever possible to give our boys the best that life has to offer.

And just as most parents (after progressing from diapers to the potty) we were faced with an important decision about our boys’ education.

We have always felt strongly about having a good education. We wanted to instill a passion for learning into our children, and encourage them to continually push for excellence.

So a few years ago, when our eldest son was close to schooling age, we decided to explore a variety of educational options.

And, the fact that homeschooled children were more advanced than public and privately schooled children, really impressed us.

But at the same time, finding the information and resources to accurately determine if homeschooling was the right option for us – was like pulling teeth.

But nowhere could we find a complete resource or guide that explained all the ins and outs of homeschooling, which would help us decide if it was right for us.

We went to forums. We read articles. We spent hours upon hours searching through websites only finding tidbits of information.

And unfortunately it didn’t take long to realize that if any information was available, it must have been deeply buried in cyberspace.

To be honest, in the end, we decided to wait until our youngest was a little older, before we started our homeschool program.

But nonetheless, the point is… unless we had invested all that time doing the research our decision might have been quite different. We could have started homeschooling long before we were ready, and invested a lot of time and money into it, only to regret our decision.

In fact, we heard many stories from families that hadn’t found the right information, yet invested the time and money into homeschooling and ended up making (what they felt) was a big mistake.

Sadly, we found that the lack of help and knowledge available was stifling people’s passion for homeschooling. They were feeling tired and frustrated; and most people just gave up before they could make an educated decision.

So my wife and I decided that we should share what we had learned with others and help people find the homeschooling answers that they were looking for.

Fun Fairy Tales for Kids

Click Image To Visit Site Attention Parents and Grandparents who are frantically trying to find a children’s book with a difference.

Are you feeling the pressure that you are not good enough because you are not doing the one hundred and one “right” things for your child?



Are you always looking for the “next best” thing and being afraid that if you don’t jump on the current bandwagon that you might miss out and your child will suffer for life?

"Few children learn to love books by themselves. Someone has to lure them into the wonderful world of the written word. Someone has to show them the way."

Children are precious little people, and like sponges they absorb everything they hear and see around them. If you are like me and thousands of parents around the world you will probably have spent countless hours worrying if you are giving your child the best in life.

Now you can do for your kids what we did for ours when they were very young. We decided to take action to ensure we raised them with a very sound set of life long morals. Morals we learnt from our parents as we were growing up such as: respect, kindness, family, friendship, acceptance of others and helping one another.

One of the ways we provided our kids with these morals was through STORY TELLING as well as READING and EXPLORING books as our parents did with us. A TRADITION we’ve carried on!

I know from experience this helped us provide our kids with the best in life as they have grown into fantastic young adults.

Where can I find an original and uniquely illustrated children’s book I can utilise in teaching my kids about a variety of morals?

Growing up on a farm in rural Australia, I remember Dad telling us stories about the bush and its animals and characters from his own imagination. All the characters had magical powers and embarked on numerous adventures while each story demonstrated strong morals and values. So when the grandchildren came along, we did not want them to miss out on the same experiences we had as kids listening to Dad’s stories. We persuaded him to write them down, which led to……

You to can now immerse yourself and your kids in the adventures of Tim the Magic Tree Limb as the characters explore the bush, meet new friends, embark on adventures and learn life long lessons, such as -

I read these books to my children and they loved them. Their favorite characters were the beetles and the funny antics they would get up to.To find a children’s book with friendships and everyone helping each other is refreshing. Tim The Magic Tree Limb is now a favorite bed time story. The kids also look forward to creating their own stories with Tim and his friends using the felt characters we made following the detailed instructions supplied in the bonus package. We have made all the characters… Read more…
