-Tailor homeschooling to fit your family's unique needs
-Know when your child is ready to learn to read
-Teach your child arithmetic without fear--even if you're math-challenged
-Give your child unlimited learning on a limited budget
-And much more!

"Provides a much-needed introduction to living and learning with young children. Open the book to any page and you'll find inspiring anecdotes and approaches to learning that leave the reader thinking, 'That just makes so much sense!' Highly recommended for anyone who lives, works, or plays with young children."--Helen Hegener, managing editor of "Home Education Magazine"
