Book Review: A Different Book for a Different Need
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this book. It's important to understand that this book is very different than many other homeschool how-to books out there. While there are many books that focus on academics, and some books that focus on discipleship, this book weaves both academics and discipleship together in a very user friendly and understandable format. They do encourage avoiding textbooks and workbooks, but I came away from the book feeling like I could still implement their methods and even most of their resources. This is because this isn't a curriculum manual or guide. It's a guide on how to disciple your child for Jesus Christ, within the framework and atmosphere of the home and family. Then, once they establish how to disciple your child, they must outline some homeschool resources, books, and ways to organize your home and your life, becuase they correctly identify that all of these things are so closely intertwined. They encourage you to have a room set aside for homeschooling alone, and we are unable to do this. At first I felt frustrated that their entire plan of education seems to hang on this, but I realized that I can simply turn my living room into a home education center, with blocks on the floor in a basket, a game shelf, children's book shelves, maps on the kitchen cabinets, etc. They also encourage using GeoSafari, computer applications, puzzles, games, and of course tons of living books. They encourage a lot of individualized learning and goals specific to each child for each year. But to read any review is going to leave you without the most important aspect of this book, which is that the Clarksons' outline a simple framework for home discipleship that anyone can implement. I love some Charlotte Mason methods, and I do use some workbooks and curricula, but I still love this book, and it's tied with Charlotte Mason Companion for my favorite homeschool how-to book.
