Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Reader) Homeschooling an only child is sometimes a daunting idea for most parents to consider, but it need not be. While there are some issues to consider, there are none that cannot be overcome.Homeschooling and the Only Child gives parents of only children access to a book, that not only talks about home education in general, but delivers it with an only child focus. Chapters include topics from starting out in homeschooling, to learning styles and from Expectations and worries, to the ever-present topic of “SOCIALIZATION.” The author, while a homeschooling parent of an only child, felt that her thoughts alone were not enough so, she also offers commentary and viewpoints of other homeschooling parents of only children. Through interviews, questionnaires, personal interaction, and experience, it is hoped that the readers might now find a connection with their peers, that the author never found in the books she read.

I thought that this would be great for someone starting out their homeschooling journey. It would be particularly beneficial to a parent of an only who is just starting out. I particularly enjoyed the topics that were specific to only children. Expectations & Worries was good for me to read. As the author states in this book, there are many reasons people decide to homeschool. Regardless of the deciding factors, having an understanding of how to homeschool is essential. This book offers thoughtful suggestions (such as setting a timer to help an active child understand how long they have to focus) and tips (such as adding variety to your school routine by mixing it up a bit) to help the reader through challenging situations. There is a great list of benefits of homeschooling included in the book which might help people considering this option. The list includes: - A deeper relationship with your child. - Making your own school hours - Whatever schedule works best for you and your child. - Your child learns to think independently and can avoid following the crowd. If you are considering homeschooling, this book written by a mom who is already doing it, can help!

| About the Author | |
 |
Lorelei Nettles has been homeschooling her son since 1995, the day he was born. Married for over 25 years and the parent of a teenager, she has seen the ups and downs being the parent of an only child can be. She started reading homeschooling magazines, books, and accessing Internet writings while her son was still in diapers. This allowed her to see the many aspects of home education as well as the many different opinions on the subject. She understands that not everyone thinks alike and tries to reflect that in her writings. She is the managing editor as well as a writer for Virtual Christian Magazine and also writes for her church’s national newspaper. She hopes this book will lend support to a home education group that is not often addressed. |
