The WholeHearted Child Home Education Handbook

by Clay Clarkson, Sally Clarkson

In The WholeHearted Child Home Education Handbook you'll find a model for home education that will nourish your children intellectually on healthy servings of whole, "living" books and life experiences. The Home Centered Learning model will help you turn your home into a lively learning environment that stimulates your children's natural appetites for knowledge. They will love the wholesome nutrition of real books and real life, and you will love the way they learn and grow.

But home education is about much more than just feeding the mind--it is mostly about shaping the heart. With their background in discipleship ministry, the Clarksons show you how to integrate home discipling and home education. The goal of the Home Centered Learning model is not just to raise smart children--it is to help you raise wholehearted Christian children.

The WholeHearted Child Home Education Handbook draws on the wisdom of Charlotte Mason, whose books and articles from the early part of this century are driving the resurgence in whole book learning among home educators. Whatever approach to home education you are currently using, you will benefit from the encouragement and practical insights offered in The WholeHearted Child Home Education Handbook.

Picked this one up at a used curriculum sale and thought I'd give it a try. It did have some useful book lists but other than that I did not find much that worked for our family. I think I keep trying to read books by the Clarksons because people whose opinions I respect keep recommending various books of theirs, but something about their writing style just does not work for me. Donated this to the library book sale where hopefully one of their fans can find it. :)
