Homeschool.com was at it again this year--finding you the best educational gifts and products this season. These items have been distinguished over other products because of their high quality and educational use, offering lasting value, lasting learning, and of course, lasting fun! These products have been tested by both parents and kids alike and have been chosen for different ages, backgrounds, skills, and interests. We strive to come up with the best possible list each year and we want to thank both the readers, and the educational product companies that shared their suggestions, and products with us to test. |
In the revolutionary new book, A General Theory of Love, by Dr. Thomas Lewis,
Dr. Fari Amini and Dr. Richard Lannon, the authors draw on new scientific discoveries that
prove what mothers have known instinctively since the beginning of time: love is paramount
to their child's life-long success. We have asked Dr. Lewis, co-author of the book, to
share with us how our current educational and parenting methods are damaging our
children--and what we must do now, to help them develop into independent, wise,
successful, and most importantly, happy adults!
It was only five years ago when then President Bill Clinton used
his weekly radio address to urge state governments to add community service as a condition for high school graduation. For
many of the nation's teens, this "mandatory volunteering" has since extinguished the joy and satisfaction inherent in service
by turning volunteer work into just another on a long list of non-negotiable duties to perform.
For
the first time ever, Homeschool.com will be doing a LIVE interview and we want
you to join us. This Wednesday, May 19th, we will be interviewing Christopher
Paolini, author of Eragon. Although he is only in his early twenties, his
book is #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and he has made guest
appearances on both the David Letterman and Jay Leno shows. Christopher
attributes his success to the fact that he was homeschooled. You can read
more about Christopher in last month’s newsletter at Homeschool.com.
