This invaluable guide will prove to you that the biggest secret to a successful homeschool is motivation. Because when you choose how to homeschool, there is an elephant in the room. And that's you. You are the parent. But now you are the teacher too. That is potentially an enormous problem on the motivation front. Picture this: What happens when you end up in lots of battles with the kids? The kids aren't interested. They don't want to learn. You are tearing your hair out. This is their future ...Can't they realize that? What if they don't get any exams or qualifications? They will have failed. And you will have failed too. This guide shows you exactly what things you can do in your homeschool to get your kids happy and enthusiastic - and what not to do. Dealing with common homeschool problems like this plea: "Desperate for enlightenment. My kid refuses to do any work" , the book contains indispensable homeschooling help for all homeschoolers, old and new alike. And, since giving your child the best start in life is something we all have in common, you will find the advice here applies worldwide whether you call it homeschooling or, as in the UK, home education. Based on unique experience from one of the few second generation homeschool families and suggestions from more than 8,500 Facebook fans, Secrets of Success will show you: What makes a good homeschool teacher Practical steps to keep your kids motivated and in love with learning How to make a homeschool schedule which works for all of you How to deal with the potential nightmare of homeschooling high school and the responsibility of motivating kids through exams At all times practical, this upbeat guide is essential reading whatever homeschooling method you follow. Whether you stick to a strict schedule with clear academic targets, decide on relaxed homeschooling, or let your child lead the way and unschool, this guide will teach you the essential steps to success using real-life insights from homeschoolers who have 'been there and done that.' With a homeschool son now going to Oxford University and a daughter following an unschooling route as a talented artist, the author argues that most parents misunderstand what makes young people motivated. This problem becomes particularly acute when it comes to homeschooling high school and the responsibility for getting your children through exams. Getting your unmotivated teen on-side is something all parents struggle with. Learning to trust your child and accept what they say - even though you may not agree with it - is one of the homeschooling lessons which is hardest to put into practice. Uncovering the five common motivational mistakes made by parents, the book concludes by proving that the academic route is not the only path to homeschooling success. Drawing on inspiration from leading educationalists like John Holt, Ken Robinson, Charlotte Mason and Maria Montessori, you will find a wealth of practical help so that you can make homeschooling the best and most fulfilling thing you've ever done. "It is time to think outside the box and teach your child to embrace a life of learning. This book will give you the tools to do that." Lisa Vaught "Great book, very encouraging and supportive."

Consequences of the ongoing pandemic have seriously affected educational systems in the U.S. and around the world. School closures and the opportunities or nightmares of remote learning have caused many parents to reconsider options for schooling their children. Alternatives to going back to conventional school are currently hot topics, strongly motivated by growing racism and the social bullying that confront many youngsters and teens in today’s school environment. (New Yorker Magazine, June 21, 2021, "The Rise of Black Homeschooling.") Jean Nunnally’s memoir of her trials and triumphs in unschooling her two children from birth to college provides an enlightening insight into the innate learning ability of humans, showing how self-esteem, trust and personal responsibility were preserved and strengthened for herself and her kids. "Unschooling," the author says, "is the way we have learned throughout time and the way adults learn when they are free to pursue their interests." Her book gives an overview of unschooling or self-directed learning, but so much more. Jean not only did the work, but her son and daughter are proof that unschooling works. They were each accepted in and graduated from prestigious U.S. colleges and testify, in personal reflections at the end of the narrative, to the happiness and fulfillment of their elementary and high school years following their passions, their hobbies, their music, their dreams, often in stark contrast to the struggles with traditional forms their peers were required to submit to. Those unfamiliar with this unique educational approach, a subset of homeschooling, often argue from misunderstandings of the process. “What about socializing with their peers?” “Do I have to be a trained teacher?” they ask. Success Without School offers Nunnally’s disputation of these and other popular myths surrounding the subject. Along the way, Jean Nunnally points out aspects of her own transformation from a traditional background and a corporate career to the lesser traveled path of alternative education. She explains how her view of school changed, and changed her, as she proceeded to unschool her children. She leaves the reader with an encouraging description of the three jobs of an unschooling parent―exposure, facilitation, and modeling; and offers her unique approach to preparing an unschooled teen for college, and the specific challenges that required.
