Stages of Homeschooling: Letting Go (Book 3)

Stages of Homeschooling: Letting Go (Book 3)

So you took homeschooling one year at a time, and now, all of a sudden, you realize that your children are teens: older, taller (maybe taller than you) and still at home. Good for you! Why send off these awesome young people that youâ€™ve raised and educated when you can keep on teaching them at home?

Barbara Frank homeschooled her four children from birth to adulthood. Two attended college (one graduated with honors, another will soon graduate with an associateâ€™s degree), her eldest chose not to attend college but has done well without it, and her youngest, who has special needs, now works with her husband. Her experience of homeschooling teens has been wide-ranging, challenging and always interesting; in Stages of Homeschooling: Letting Go, Barbara shares what sheâ€™s learned about homeschooling teens with the goal of sending them out into the world on their own.

One unique feature of this book is that it describes some important subjects high schools donâ€™t teach that our kids need, and that parents should teach them before they leave home for life on their own. Another, more personal aspect of homeschooling through high school Barbara discusses is letting go of our children. Letting go has always been a challenge for parents; those whose children never went to school may find it especially difficult. If you have some angst about letting go of your teens, youâ€™ll find Barbara to be a kindred spirit.

Stages of Homeschooling: Letting Go is divided into seven sections:

â€œMaking the Choice to Homeschool Older Children and Teensâ€ (Motivations for homeschooling through high school)

â€œWhich Subjects Should Homeschooled Teens Study?â€ (Includes those your local high school probably doesnâ€™t offer, but should)

â€œThe College Decisionâ€ (Not which college to attend, but whether your teen should even go to college)

â€œPreparing Our Teens for the World of Workâ€ (The 21st century world of work, not the 20th)

â€œTips for Homeschooling Parentsâ€ (Hints and hope for parents of homeschooled teens)

â€œBooks and Resourcesâ€ (A few of the best)

â€œPersonal Memories of Homeschooling Teensâ€ (Glimpses into the life of a longtime homeschooling family)

Stages of Homeschooling: Letting Go will encourage and enlighten you as you homeschool your teens. Itâ€™s the third book in the Stages of Homeschooling series:

Stages of Homeschooling: Beginnings (Book 1)
Stages of Homeschooling: Enjoying the Journey (Book 2)
Stages of Homeschooling: Letting Go (Book 3)
Stages of Homeschooling: The Empty Nest (Book 4)
