Go Fly A Kite! Ten Surprising Strategies for Success in Your Homeschool

by Karen Costello

From Karen Although any family's history is subject to faulty memory, incomplete data, and revisionist thinking, my desire is to encourage all who read this to realize that amazing relationships can spring out of following God's calling. And if you gather little bits of wisdom and insight in the process, even better. In the attempt to chronicle the heritage handed down to me, I hope to show how each member of our family boldly fought against the common culture to make a difference in our lives, both now and eternally. In the early 1980s, families across America were hearing the same call to a revolutionary way of thinking-a radical re-invention of how families operate-and a call to self-sacrifice. In sharing my family history, I hope to show how God prepared us for just such a time. Most every worthwhile homeschool experience develops through trial and error. There is no "one size fits all" formula to guarantee success. But there are certain elements which should be included in every home education process. It is my prayer that incorporating these ten simple strategies will enable you to reach heights you can only imagine-that these ten verbs will challenge you to venture into the not-so-scary unknown. That these ten dynamics will propel you forward into God's great plan-and let you SOAR LIKE A KITE!

After hearing this author speak last week, I was anxious to check out more of her tips and wisdom on homeschooling, and this book didn't disappoint. Although you can tell this is written by a first time author and parts of the book could be organized better, the information is here is very helpful and practical. I would highly recommend this book to any homeschooler and possibly any parent that is interested in spiritual discipleship in their family. You will not agree with everything in this book (I rarely do with any parenting book), but this is wisdom from a seasoned mom and homeschooler that will help you tremendously.
