A wonderful support book for parents who want their child to experience a real education, without their love of books and learning being destroyed by the pressure to fit into the National Curriculum Key Stage mould. There is a very definite, and welcome, bias towards a more humane kind of education ie. home education. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who has a child in school though, as there are many tips on supporting them and believing in them. Goethe didn't learn to read until he was ten.
The book is beautifully illustrated throughout by the author's children and is a pleasure to read. It has easy-to-make healthy recipes which are well thought out and introduce valuable skills well within the capabilities of young children. There is an excellent section on gardening which we have used to great effect on our allotment. Other comprehensive sections include Maths, English, the most beautiful handwriting lesson, art, history and some excellent crafts. There is also a wonderful section on the toys your child will really get years of fun from.
Buy this book and get to know and respect you child again.
I also highly recommend 'Unqualified Education' by the same author and aimed at 11 to 18 year olds.

A really good first introduction to home schooling for your child. It sometimes goes into the history of learning in a little too much detail, but on the whole it points you in the right direction as to what kind of approach to take with your child when going down the home schooling route.

Although this book is aimed at home educators, and is an invaluable resource to any of us, there is so much in here that would suit a child who was in school and whose parents wanted some ideas for games, activities or helping with school work. From gardening, craft and cooking to ideas on maths and reading, this book has fantastic practical, reassuring advice and simplle grading system for the activities and an easy to read and use format that makes it a book i go back to over and over again.
