How You and Your Kids Can Thrive in the Homeschool Life

De: Durenda Wilson

Narrado por: Jill Blackwood

Giving your child a quality education experience for a life of happiness and purpose is possible - and it only takes four hours a day or less!

We want our kids to have the best education, but less-than-ideal school environments and concern about our kids' specific needs have parents uncertain about traditional schooling. A trusted homeschool expert with 25 years of experience homeschooling her own eight children, Durenda Wilson offers a better way and promises that you already have what it takes to give your child a healthy, successful future.

In The Four-Hour School Day, she unpacks the lifelong advantages of home education, both for the health of your family and your child's future. With inspiring stories about parents just like you, she demystifies homeschooling and addresses common fears like, what if I'm not qualified, how can I homeschool as a single parent, and what if I don't have enough time? Packed with encouragement and practical advice, this resource equips you with all the information you need to create a sustainable homeschooling plan customized to your child's needs.

Wilson will help you to:

• Work with your child's interests and passions for an enjoyable learning experience
• Cultivate independent learning in your child so you have more time and your child develops more curiosity
• Navigate the different schooling stages your child will go through
• Find an engaged community so that you can start this adventure with all the support you need

Explore the rich and wonderful world of homeschooling because it's not only more doable than you think, but far more beneficial than you can imagine.

Fresh , Grounding Encouragement for this Generation of Homeschooling Mothers

This book was more than I expected it to be! I assumed it would be a practical “how to guide” to streamline our school days at home. But it was so much more.
With the thousands of voices, advice and resources available to us young mothers in this generation sometimes I feel like I could cry. Am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? How can I do it all?
Comparison hurries us to the next curriculum and lesson.
Durenda’s motherhood experience, perspective and wisdom are what I’ve been longing for. Her natural and unhurried approach to teaching her children are simple, yet revolutionary in today’s culture .
I’m a homeschooling mother of 6 children middle school and younger. I’m so thankful for this book. It gives me permission to teach as my mommy heart has wanted to. Trusting God all the way. I only wish I had read this 10 years ago.
I plan to read it again and this time take notes!
Thank you Durenda.

P.s you should read this book if you haven’t ;)

Greta For New Christian Homeschoolers!

I am brand new to the idea of homeschooling and have literally just notified my state that my son will be homeschooled the remainder of the school year. I love the scriptural foundation and real life examples threaded throughout this book. This book helped me to grow in confidence to homeschool and as a bonus helped me to understand raising/teaching a boy and how to consider their needs which isn’t considered in a traditional one size fits all school setting. Overall I highly recommend!

Thankful!

I am so thankful a friend encouraged me to read/listen to this book! I loved that she really got into the nitty-gritty for each age and what is important. As simple as the idea is, I never considered a student-lead learning approach. I am now walking into my 1st year home educating more excited than ever!

Encouraging and informative

We are considering homeschooling our kids and loved the author’s perspective and tone - she is encouraging and relatable. I would love to give my kids the kind of childhood she describes and appreciate her sharing her experience and wisdom in this book.

Great Listen!!

Extremely Helpful practical advice! Short and powerful! The story was interesting and I appreciate the practicability of the information.

Peaceful homeschool

One of the things I love about this books is the gentle reminder that peace is a fruit of the spirit. She talks about unhurried homeschooling, but it looks so much like a fruit of the spirit that has blossomed in her school life. Such a great book, and very inspiring to have peace through our school day.

Amazing Book

Loved the advice and content is very well done. Only thing I would comment about is that it becomes a bit too religious which might not be everyone's cup of tea
