The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook - A Creative and Stress-Free Approach to Homeschooling By Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore

The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook

Throughout history, societies have depended on books to guide them through life.  Many of these have been referred to as ‘handbooks’ and have been instrumental in a number of ways by helping us ‘find our way’.  Today, there is a handbook that is designed to guide us through the world in which we live that can greatly improve our lives in the process.  That handbook is called “The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook”.

Written by homeschooling pioneers Raymond and Dorothy Moore “The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook” is more than just advocating educating children at home; it is a treasure trove of information covering all aspects of the family and, by default, society itself.  They have compiled a handbook for the ages that will enable society to greatly benefit from what it has to offer.

First and foremost, “The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook” is a book written to help the parent guide their children through the jungle that is the educational system.  Each chapter provides those guiding principles in a simple, small bites approach.   Be at ease though; it is not a book that solely advocates removing the child from mainstream schools and teaching them at home.  It more accurately addresses the need for parents to ensure their child’s education, whether it is in the home or the traditional public school setting.

“The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook” is divided into five parts, addressing critical issues like that found in part two titled “Homeschooling Stress: Prevention and Remedy” by advocating we slow down and not stress over the “what about their peers” question.  In part four titled “Effective Homeschoolers Share Their Wisdom” you find insights given from adults of homeschoolers, sharing their experiences and what they have learned along the way.  It documents people from all walks of life, writing from the ‘everyman’ position; the single mother, the Navy wife, physicians, artists, even a former assistant attorney general. 

In part five of “The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook” you will get answers to questions such as how to continue your child’s education in college after being homeschooled, or how a mother can still home school while working a full time job.  There is also invaluable background provided as to how the home schooling movement was born as well as addressing concerns over the dreaded word ‘certified’.

In the epilogue of “The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook” “The Moore Formula” has been provided; a time tested approach dealing with four critical areas vital to home school success: head, hand, heart and health.  This chapter provides three main areas to consider for the sake of the children and their future, backed by documented research, to be effective in furthering the child’s academic as well as societal growth: study, work and service.  It is the authors’ position that these three areas are most critical if children are to succeed in life, whether it be within a home schooled environment or the public educational system itself.

“The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook” is nothing short of a Godsend when it comes to finding our way through life today.  Timeless principles abound, and the message is evergreen for all generations. 
If we are to succeed as a society, it is imperative we take every step and make every sacrifice possible, so our future generations mirrored in our children will receive what is needed for that success.  This is truly found in Raymond and Dorothy Moore’s book “The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook”.  It doesn’t matter if you are a single mom, grandparent or the ‘stereotypical’ intact family unit; you will find “The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook” to be an invaluable guide for both you and your children’s success in life.
