Homeschooling your children can be a compelling experience that will shape them in powerful and lasting ways. It's a choice that allows you to create a learning environment where your children feel safe, respected, encouraged, and valued. It also allows them to explore their interests more deeply while enabling you to introduce them to subjects of your choosing and safeguard them from the biases of the public school system. They will reliably receive the one-on-one attention they deserve, which means they'll never feel left behind or too far ahead (and aimless or bored as a result). With scheduling flexibility comes the freedom to take your kids on vacations where and when you want to, as well as ensure they get the quantity and quality of sleep essential to healthy development, energy levels, and overall well-being. For these reasons (and even more not covered in this book), I can confidently say that homeschooling is a vastly superior option for most people. If you're undecided about the best decision for your family, know that you want to homeschool but are feeling intimidated, or want to learn more about the benefits of the homeschooling lifestyle, I wholeheartedly encourage you to keep learning and researching. Remember that when it comes to homeschooling, what's right for your family might not be for another… the lessons, topics, schedule, and style are yours to choose; they can be tailored to meet the needs, goals, and beliefs of your beautifully unique family.
