Get your (FREE!) ebook: Secrets of a Successful Homeschool Mom

//  by Jamie C. Martin

Secrets of a Successful Homeschool Mom ~
Written by Jamie C. Martin, editor of Simple Homeschool

I‘m so excited to introduce you to my ebook, Secrets of a Successful Homeschool Mom: A Manifesto of Freedom and Joy in Home Learning.

It’s a FREE resource for all those on my email list!

Here’s a description:

“Most of us have at least a few insecurities hidden inside about whether or not we can actually do this homeschooling thing. 

It makes sense that we would feel this way–after all, we’ve been taught that education is complicated. We’ve been told that education requires experts, and we don’t always feel like one.

But what if some of what we’ve been taught is not true? What if there is another way—a simpler, more natural way to learn?

What if there are secrets of a successful homeschool mom—secrets we can tap into and use to order our days and our lives? I believe there are, and I wrote this book in the hope that they’ll inspire you the way they’ve inspired me.”

I would have loved this short, uplifting read years ago when I first started considering this educational path. Instead I felt, like many of you, that I was stumbling my way in the dark–learning by trial and error.

At around 30 pages, this ebook is the perfect length to print out, hole punch, and place in a binder to read when discouragement strikes.

Table of Contents

Introduction

  1. The evolution of an educational philosophy
  2. Homeschool doesn’t have to mean school at home.
  3. It’s not about the curriculum you buy.
  4. It’s as much about your education as it is about theirs.
  5. Go back to basics; keep school simple.
  6. Burnout is inevitable, so plan for it.
  7. The most important thing you’ll ever do for the success of your homeschool.
  8. You are a good enough teacher.

Appendices

  • 1 – 10 questions to ask and answer about your family
  • 2 – Educational philosophies defined

      Sheilla, Amy, Lauren, and anyone else having trouble seeing it – scroll to the bottom of today’s post, either in your email or in your RSS reader (depending on how you subscribe). You should see a little thumbnail image of the e-book’s cover. The download link is right next to that. 🙂

    This comes at a perfect time. Tonight I am meeting with a woman who feels that it is time to pull her 7th grader out of school and bring him home. How nice I can hand her this little bit of encouragment. Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing your book. I’ve already started it (my kids slept in this morning) and it looks like my education philosophy is close to yours. I’ve already gone back to some of your leadership education posts and started taking notes. I appreciate the inspiration!

    I can’t wait to read this! I’ve been reading this blog and your Steady Mom blog for the past year now but have never subscribed (prefer to just keep a blog roll that I check regularly). I did subscribe just now though so I can read this! Your writing has been very inspirational for me and I’ve actually been going through your archives on Steady Mom for the past couple of weeks to read more. Thanks! Cheryl

    Thank you for this resource! As I began our second year of homeschooling, I felt the pull to think more deeply about why I do what I do. I’m sure your book will be helpful on my personal journey of discovery. Thank you for making this book available.
