How to educate your children at home even under the most impossible circumstances.

Moms and dads, you have all that it takes to educate your children, whether your circumstances are ideal or not. Nicki Truesdell, blogger, mother of 5, and second-generation homeschooler, shares her stories of 20 years of home education through many ups and downs, and how she learned to adapt to every situation.In this book you will hear from real people who are doing it, even in the most difficult of circumstances:

• single parents
• grandparents
• families with chronic illness
• children with special needs
• working parents

...and many other situations.This book is the product of many discussions, both in real life and online, where frustrated and desperate parents expressed a desire to find an alternative to the public schools. Like so many, they automatically assumed that homeschooling was only for those families who had neatly organized lives, complete with a large income, a school room in their house, a college degree, and obedient children. A must-read for every parent who is desperate for an education solution.

This book includes two very important parts:

Part One begins with what we think education is, and what it actually is. This is followed by individual chapters devoted to specific circumstances (single parents, low income, etc.). Dig in to understanding education vs. home education, and how to apply these concepts to your personal life.

Part Two is all about getting started. You'll read about how to find your state homeschooling law, withdraw your children, set up your homeschool, choose curriculum, set a schedule, and much more.

Nicki truly believes that anyone can homeschool when they begin to understand education at its core. This book will open your eyes to the possibilities and help you get started right away.
