Summary:

Homeschool the right way from day one.
Are you considering homeschooling for your family? Today, many parents recognize that their child's school options are limited, inadequate, or even dangerous, and an increasing number are turning to homeschooling. But where do you start and how do you ensure the highest-quality educational experience, especially in that pivotal first year?
This comprehensive guide will help you determine the appropriate first steps, build your own educational philosophy, and discover the best ways to cater to your child's specific learning style, including:
·When, why, and how to get started
·The best ways to develop an effective curriculum, assess your child's progress, and navigate local regulations
·Kid-tested and parent-approved learning activities for all age levels
·Simple strategies for developing an independent child and strengthening family and social relationships
·And much, much more!
"To the thousands of requests we receive for help from families new to homeschooling, we will now recommend this warm and knowledgeable book. It will ensure that all families make it to the second year—including yours!" —Elizabeth Kanna, editor in chief, Homeschool.com
"Linda Dobson addresses all the issues facing parents as they consider the task of homeschooling over other educational options.

I read this book front to back in less than a week. It is an excellent source of inspiration and encouragement. I would recommend it to all new Homeschoolers and those even just considering it.

AWESOME RESOURCE
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

I found this book to be FULL of insightful and encouraging stories that made my desire to homeschool my two young children increase. Although my children are still very young, 2 years and 6 months, I am even more encouraged that homeschooling is the way to go for them, especially after reading this book!

Very Helpful for Anyone Interested in Homeschooling
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I picked up this book at the library a few weeks back. Honestly, I think I read it a few years ago when my children were very small and I was first considering homeschooling as a possible educational alternative. Now that I am actually in my first year of homeschooling my children, I looked at it with a whole new perspective. This is a book I would recommend heartily for anyone who is considering homeschooling. Dobson does a commendable job of presenting what homeschooling is actually like. While every homeschooling family is different, she explores the various main styles of homeschooling and provides profiles of how each style works in a family. She offers help in figuring out your child's learning style, recovering from a bad school experience, as well as special circumstances that some families may have to cope with in homeschooling. She also devotes a whole chapter to countering homeschooling myths (socialization, anyone?) She also includes quotes from families under the heading of "What I Wish Someone Had Told Me During My First Year of Homeschooling." These are honest and helpful segments. This is a very helpful, informative introduction to the homeschooling way of life.

Excellent homeschooling fear-tamer
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

We ordered this book when it became obvious that in our area, homeschooling wasn't just the best choice; it was (for us) the ONLY choice. "The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child" covered a great deal, mostly from the advice-to-parents angle (as opposed to covering curriculum/testing requirements). We learned about the emotional/logistical hurdles we would be likely to face, and how to clear them with ease. Overall, the book covers the objections, concerns, fears and difficulties a novice homeschooler will face, and offers concrete suggestions, reassurance and encouragement. Don't expect Pollyanna; expect real, helpful advice from other parents who have been where you now are.

The first year of homeschooling your child
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

This is a great book for deciding if homeschooling is right for you. It makes all the arguments for homeschooling and uses great examples of others who have chosen to homeschool vs. public shool. It demonstrates personaly the results of that decision. Plus gives lots of info of the different methods used ect. A great read for anyone contenplating home education! An easy read for those hungry for all the basic ingriedients of getting started! I highly recomend this for those (like me)just entering into the world of homshooling!
