January 27, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Welcome to the second month of Homeschool Mama’s Book Club! The member’s of the Homeschool Beginner’s Facebook group picked the book title via a poll. This month we will be reading Teaching from Rest by Sarah Mackenzie. I think I first heard about Sarah Mackenzie via another homeschool podcast which talked about her podcast The Read Aloud Revival which lead to me discovering her books The Read Aloud Family and Teaching from Rest.

January Homeschool Mamas Book Club: The Unhurried Homeschooler #hsmamasbookclub

December 27, 2018 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Welcome to the first month of Homeschool Mama’s Book Club! This month we will be reading The Unhurried Homeschooler by Durenda Wilson. I must have been living under a rock or something because I had not heard about this wonderful book until some homeschool mama friends suggested it as a book title choice! I am so very glad that it was voted as the top pick for our inaugural homeschool mamas book club.

Meet Durenda Wilson author of The Unhurried Homeschooler

Durenda Wilson

Durenda has been homeschooling for over 23 years and is a mom of eight (born 1991-2004).  She has graduated 5 so far with two still at home. She’s been married to Darryl for 29 years and they have 6 grandkids.  Durenda is convinced that home educating is an incredible blessing, but only if we don’t let it hold us hostage to unnecessary expectations and notions of what it “should” look like. The heart of her message is to encourage families to think outside the box and take time to enjoy this amazing journey.  She firmly believes that children are naturally curious and if parents keep things simple and unhurried, their kids will become lifelong learners.

Durenda has written The Unhurried Homeschooler-a simple, mercifully short book on homeschooling and Unhurried Grace for a Mom’s Heart-31 days in God’s Word.  She is the owner/host on her podcast Durenda Wilson and blog, Durenda Wilson.com

Homeschooled Through High School: Diana Waring Presents

Homeschooled Through High School:

Diana Waring Presents

Wow!  What a delight to be here with all of you.  Thanks so much to Thaleia for inviting me to be a guest blogger on this very exciting site.

And, you know, homeschooling during high school is one of my favorite topics, because the opportunity to homeschool my three teenagers was the highlight of our parenting journey!

But before we go there, may I share with you what research shows about homeschooling our kids all the way through high school?  During a convention workshop, Dr. Jay Wile talked of a study done by Lawrence Rudner, in which homeschool, private school, and public school students were compared.  The first part of the study showed that homeschool students start out ahead of private school students—and keep that slight lead all the way through high school.  Private school students are slightly ahead of public school students. . .until eighth grade.  At that point, public school students begin to diverge, losing ground rapidly compared to both homeschool and private school students.
