Book Reviews of Educating the Wholehearted Child Revised & Expanded
Book Review: One of my favorite books!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been very useful to me. It has so many interesting ideas, and is quite inspirational. When I get stuck in a homeschooling rut, this book gives me ideas to emphasize a different aspect (or area of study per Ch4) of my homeschool. Usually ruts result from emphasizing structured (or disciplined) studies and letting everything else slide.
Chapter 1 is one of the best treatments I've read of why people homeschool, and how to handle those who criticize your choice.
Chapter 2 focuses on creating a Christian home and raising children with Christian values and character.
Chapter 3 contains a good discussion of various "mental muscles" that homeschooling should strengthen - habits, appetites, language, creativity, curiosity, reason, and wisdom.
Chapter 4 provides a good "home-centered learning model", where 5 study areas should be addressed:
1. discipleship studies (religious education),
2. disciplined studies (study of basics),
3. discussion studies (humanities),
4. discovery studies (science, nature, creative arts) and
5. discretionary studies (field trips, likfe skills, home and community life).
Of these, the disciplined studies are the ones that would require a more structured, traditional type of teaching.
Chapter 4 also contains an excellent section on how to set up your home for home-centered learning.
Chapter 5 contains teaching methods for the studies described in Chapter 4.
Chapter 6 contains brief information on learning styles, and Chapters 7, 8, and 9 are about keeping it together, managing your home and your school.
The appendix contains book lists and curriculum resources, as well as planner pages that you can photocopy.
This book calls itself "A Handbook for christian Home Education", but I think the book has so much to offer everyone, regardless of their religious beliefs. I heartily recommend this book to any homeschooler who is not made uncomfortable by Christianity.
