“Those three hours you spent at the park while you read an absorbing novel and your child dug in the dirt were not only okay, they were exceptional for development.”

-Ginny Yurich from 1000 Hours Outside in her new book Homeschooling: You’re doing it right just by doing it.

This is such a good book.

If you’ve been homeschooling for a while, Ginny’s gentle and personal writing style will reassure you that you’ve done the right thing for your children AND you!

If you’re considering a home education journey with your family, this book will explain the beauty of a relaxed yet intentional approach that gives your children not only a love of learning but also enables them to find passions to pursue naturally and organically.

If you’re like me, a former homeschool mom who is now a grandma, this book will help you support your own children as they begin educating your grandchildren at home.

It’s full of solid quotes from long-time home education experts and school teachers.

This would make a great gift for a family on the fence about this fabulous way to “do” family.

Pre-order a copy. Really. You’ll probably want to get several to pass around to friends. I keep thinking I need to send it to every one of the legislators in our state (and others) who are on the fence about restrictive homeschool legislation that’s currently being debated.

So good!

(Thankful to 1000 Outside for shooting me a digital copy of the book in advance in exchange for an honest review.)
