Growing a Whole Child

Hello, Beloved Blogtribe!!

I know I have been a bit MIA recently. I have been in the thick of life, still in the thick of it, but – thankfully – also in the thick of creative mode recently :))

So, I wanted to share my newbest creARTion with you :))

Drum roll please……..

Ta da!!



Isn’t it beautiful? It is a hand/digital hybrid beauty, and I’m so dang proud :D

Now a bit about it LOL

This is a home-style learning manifesto. It is the accumulation and synthesization and offering to you of all of the research I have done on homeschooling and unschooling (including my own child development education) + stuff from my own experience of doing it for the past 5-ish years with 3 children.

It is a simple, tidy, and interesting organization of subjects and the components of each subject. It is bursting with activity and project ideas for each little bit. It is learning how to translate everyday living into those neat little subjects school boards like to see. It is bringing it all back in to grow a whole child as slowly as feels right to us intentional parents. It is understanding how children grow and learn in a way that does them justice.

I kind of grew into a big huge project, out of the idea that I could share lots of little projects with people (curriculum per grade, per child) -- I suddenly heard my inner voice say, “If I am going to do this, it is going to be an unschooling manifesto!”

And then, I decided I wanted any family learning style parent to be able to use it, regardless of philosophy. Unschoolers, school-at-homers, parents just wanting to enrich their children’s learning through family projects and activities – the whole caboodle!  I want everyone to own a copy.

The e-book is also part workbook, to give you room to grow and play with the materials.

I have been asking for suggestions for additional parts to the book on facebook, and I look forward to including that as well :)) It’s not too late to add your own questions!

So, this is the thing. I want to get this book out asap. I know, public schools are starting (or have started) all over the country, and folks want this soul-delicious info NOW :))

The set date for completion and release into the world is September 15th. Annnnnnd, I have planned to set up an affiliate program, so if you want to help me sell it, you get half the money! How cool is that, huh? :))

In this e-book, you will find:

• a holistic view of a child and learning
• a deep understanding of how all this learning applies to real living
• how to tailor learning to be family oriented, compassionate, fun-filled, and sacred
• a clear understanding of each subject and the components of each subject
• hundreds of ideas for discussions, projects, and activities across the various subjects
• an opportunity to create your own curriculum (EEP!)
• a formula for converting living into the subjects required by most homeschool state laws
• the "homeschooling organizer" I use with my kids
• simple and loving and creative answers to some tough homeschooling mamas' questions
• lots of workbook space throughout the book to practice and personalize what we are exploring

What you will get out of our collaboration of your children’s learning:

• Gentleness - this is not a style often found in curriculum guides, and this e-book is designed to help you to find a teaching flow that is slow and grounded for the learner, gradually encompassing a kind understanding the world ♥
• Peace – if you are interested in purchasing curriculum, you may be feeling a bit of unease, and our collaboration will help you find peace in your journey ♥
• Inspiration - read through the curriculum and get your creative juices flowing, and check in with it as needed throughout the school year :))
• Assistance - homeschooling is a full-time job, so think of me as your personal assistant :))
• A happy + content kid – this guide is designed to be interesting to the learner and to move at a pace that he or she will feel comfortable with

I am reallllly excited to be sharing this e-book with the world. I hope the philosophies and gradual growth become a staple in homeschooling families. The book can be used for children of all ages (who couldn't use some remedial internal loving organization?), but it is mostly geared toward K-6.

I believe it meets the criteria for all state homeschooling laws, but the parent is the one ultimately responsible for knowing their state's laws and developing a curriculum that meets those requirements.

Alright, so you ready for the price?

Only $40.

Yep. I want it out into the world THAT badly :))

But it gets even better.

Okay, so this is the deal. I am offering pre-orders at half cost. So, for $20 now, you get to be some of the first to receive my gifts and soak them in and savor them and play with them :))

Maybe once you have enjoyed it, you will sign up to be an affiliate? I will be implementing the program once the e-book is released :)

And I welcome feedback :) I'd love to use the feedback for testimonials here for future full-price customers :D

Alright, that is the deal -- are you ready?

 

 

 



Just in case this stuff makes me sparkle even more to you, let me include my qualifications:

• Homeschooled and unschooled during my own childhood (in addition to private and public schools across 3 different states – I have some variety in educational experiences)
• Autodidact-driven high school diploma (gpa 3.97!)
• BA in psychology with an emphasis in cognitive psychology (how people think and learn) and constructivism (how people construct their reality and understanding of the world)
• Certificate in child development from the most INCREDIBLE program and a vision of how the learning philosophies can be projected into older kids
• Homeschooled and unschooled my own 3 children (ages 13, 5, and 3) for 5 school years
• Passionate about organization, synthesis, design, and personalization

Now, are you ready? Yeehaw! :))
