                           Y Frequently Asked Questions About Homeschooling

“How many parents, upon embarking on their homeschool adventure, ask their children ‘What do you want?’ ‘What is important to you?’ More often the pressing questions are ‘What does the state want; what’s important for college?’ The message in Homeschooling & Loving It is so terribly important because it encourages parents to ask life-changing questions of their children; questions that, if they will really listen to their answers, will actually help them discover their dreams, and find God’s purpose for putting them here on earth.”
Barb Shelton; author of Senior High: A Home-Designed Form+U+la (www.HomeschoolOasis.com)

“I’m loving Homeschooling and Loving It! It is well-written, well-designed, and much needed! It clearly and simply starts at the beginning and shows the way to the end. It takes into account more than “school” and goes on to incorporate all aspects of learning, but most important, it revolves around discovering and encouraging each child’s uniqueness and individuality. Whether you are new to the idea or homeschooling or just need to regain momentum or change directions, you'll find this book most helpful. Step by step it guides you to think, design and gather the resources to carry out a homeschooling plan that you and your family can not only live with, but thrive with. Your biggest disappointment may be, like mine, when you come to the end and there is no more!”

“I’ve read many books on homeschooling, and this one is perhaps the most user-friendly on the market. Each chapter progresses logically and is packed with valuable information. And to make that information accessible, each chapter includes a "Suggestion Box" with advice from veterans, plus a recommended family activity. Homeschooling and Loving It! wins a 10 out of 10 for practicality and inspiration.”
Rhonda Barfield, author of Real-Life Homeschooling: The Stories of 21Families Who Teach Their Children at Home

“Homeschooling is one of the most important choices a family will ever make. While the decision should be based on research and information, the daily routine of it needs to be based on a mutual passion for discovery, ongoing respect for each other and the joy that learning as a family can bring. With Rebecca's book in hand it will be easy--and so worthwhile!”
Tamra Orr, author of “Asking Questions, Finding Answers: A Parent's Guide to Homeschooling” and “America's Best Colleges for B Students.”

“This book is a gem in every aspect – one of the best homeschooling books we have read. Filled with practical advice and warm wisdom, Rebecca can help you make sure that your homeschooling is joyful and comes from the heart.”
Win and Bill Sweet, Authors of “Living Joyfully With Children”

“As the homeschooling wave continues to gather force in the U.S. and around the world, Rebecca Kochenderfer has been at the forefront as a facilitator, educator and cheerleader.  This truly wonderful book is a comprehensive and interactive approach that will help any parent--from the seasoned veteran to the wary beginner--to clarify personal vision, approach and structure.  A parent who follows Rebecca's guide will almost certainly find success and fulfillment in the homeschool journey.  Heartily recommended!”

“From cradle to college, Homeschooling and Loving It! covers just about all there is to know and do in order to love homeschooling. Newcomers will get off to a great start in their homeschooling, and veterans will learn new things that can add joy and inspiration to their days. Rebecca Kochenderfer’s informative and encouraging writing style lifts and supports rather than piles on guilt. Her activities at the end of each chapter help the reader put “legs” to their new knowledge, making this a very useful family workbook for all family members. Homeschooling and Loving It! strikes a delightful balance in attainable “structure for a purpose” while moving yourself and your children to life goals. Even non-homeschoolers would benefit from this practical and helpful advice for family living.”
