Homeschooling

Whether you are beginning your homeschool trek or have been at it for a decade, these days, weeks, months will happen. Susan K. Stewart, with more than twenty years homeschool experience, knows the downs and ups of the day-to-day struggles. She also knows “this too will pass.” Joy is at the end of the journey.

Lab science is experimenting, or playing around, with stuff to find out what happens. Science is something students do. “Doing” science is the philosophy behind Science in the Kitchen:Fearless Science for All Ages at Home. Susan K. Stewart helps eliminate science-phobia by showing how to use any curriculum at home, where to get science supplies, and take the mystery out of the big three: physics, biology, and chemistry.

For the past decade, parents have been bombarded with research, statistics, and reports that claim children need a formal academic program during the preschool years. The impact of the push for universal preschool has been for parents, especially moms to feel pressure to “teach” their young children. Parents begin to doubt their own instinct to nurture their little ones at home.

Susan K. Stewart challenges this notion in her new book, Preschool: At What Cost? She takes a complete look at the history of the preschool movement, the studies behind the statements, and the unpublicized evidence that your children may benefit from more play and less school. Preschool: At What Cost? gives parents the information needed to feel confident in their decision to keep their preschoolers at home. Parents will learn answers for those who question their choice.
