Homeschooling: The Middle Years: Your Complete Gu

Discover the Rewards of Homeschooling Your 8- to 12-Year-Old
From the ages of eight to twelve, children go though many changes--emotionally, intellectually, and physically. They begin to develop innate talents that will carry them though a lifetime of learning. Too often, these natural behavior traits are squelched in traditional schools. That's why more and more parents just like you are choosing to teach their eight- to twelve-year-old children at home. Inside, respected homeschooling speaker and writer Shari Henry shows you how homeschooling can work for you and your child. You'll discover how to:
-Create a world of ideas for easy science experiments, math drills, field trips, and craft activities
-Make history and geography come alive by using community resources
-Direct your child to independent projects, such as planning and planting a garden, making a kite, and creating a family meal
-And much more!
