{"title":"Starting in January","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor the family starting in the middle of the year.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most homeschool material assumes September. You are not in September. Your kid came home in November, or the school year fell apart in January, and you need one plan, one schedule, and one book per subject that does not care what month it is. That is this shelf: the parent's books that settle the panic first, then a history you can start at any chapter, then the one-book-per-grade safety net that covers the basics while you figure out the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to use it: read one of the parent's books this week, not all of them. Pick the Brain Quest workbook for your child's grade and do two pages a day; that is the floor, not the ceiling. Start the history from the beginning no matter what grade your child is in, because nobody remembers ancient history anyway and it is the best read-aloud on the shelf. Then use the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/one-size-fits-one\/homeschool-schedules-that-survive-real-life\"\u003eloop schedule\u003c\/a\u003e, where you pick up where you left off instead of falling behind a calendar, because a family that starts in January cannot afford a calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo more things, and they are the point of this store: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/one-size-fits-one\/how-to-choose-homeschool-curriculum-without-drowning\"\u003eHow to Choose Homeschool Curriculum Without Drowning\u003c\/a\u003e is the post to read before you buy anything else, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/map-49\"\u003ethe $49 map\u003c\/a\u003e is where we build the plan around your actual child instead of a grade level.

Veteran home educator Susan Wise Bauer outlines the classical pattern of education called the trivium, which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind and comprises three stages: the elementary school \"grammar stage,\" when the building blocks of information are absorbed through memorization and rules; the middle school \"logic stage,\" in which the student begins to think more analytically; and the high-school \"rhetoric stage,\" where the student learns to write and speak with force and originality. Using this theory as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child--whether full-time or as a supplement to classroom education--in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects.

When exhausted parents are living the day-to-day grind, it can seem impossible to muster enough energy to make learning fun or interesting. How do parents nurture a love of learning amid childhood chaos, parental self-doubt, the flu, and state academic standards? In this book, Julie Bogart distills decades of experience--homeschooling her five now grown children, developing curricula, and training homeschooling families around the world--to show parents how to make education an exciting, even enchanting, experience for their kids, whether they're in elementary or high school. Enchantment is about ease, not striving. Bogart shows parents how to make room for surprise, mystery, risk, and adventure in their family's routine, so they can create an environment that naturally moves learning forward. If a child wants to pick up a new hobby or explore a subject area that the parent knows little about, it's easy to simply say \"no\" to end the discussion and the parental discomfort, while dousing their child's curious spark. Bogart gently invites parents to model brave learning for their kids so they, too, can approach life with curiosity, joy, and the courage to take learning risks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julie Bogart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44381434937457,"sku":"9780143133223","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/7578\/4305\/files\/The_Brave_Learner.jpg?v=1788013535"},{"product_id":"homeschool-bravely","title":"Homeschool Bravely","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuiet the voices of \"not good enough\" and step courageously into guilt-free homeschooling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany homeschool parents have a long-term relationship with self-doubt. \"Did I make the right decision?\" \"Could someone else do this better?\" \"Am I robbing my kids of something by not sending them to 'regular school'?\" What if there's a better way?
