Are you struggling with homeschooling your teenagers?
Then you need this unique volume of Candid, Challenging, Real-Life
Advice & Encouragement for Homeschooling your TEENS
Special Limited Time Introductory Price:
Just $4.95
Right up front, let us tell you this:Some of the candid advice shared in this report WILL challenge your own ideas about
homeschooling your teens and "almost teens".Some of it will encourage you, some will convict you. Some will give you immediate "hands on" ideas you can use in your homeschooling right away, and some could very likely make you change the way you have been interacting with your teens up until now. Some may "turn on a lightbulb" and give you (and your teens) one of those"Aha!" moments -- where you can clearly see the answers and goals you have been looking for for a long time. But hidden deep inside these pages are the keys that could completely transform the relationship between you and your teens.
This is powerful material, not for the faint-hearted!These homeschool graduates have "been there, done that", and KNOW what they are talking about.
If you're a homeschooler, YOU BETTER LISTEN.
Okay. If you're still with us, here's the story behind this remarkable collection.
It actually came about almost by accident.
When we asked readers of our newsletter at HomeschoolingTEENS.com what they would like to see us discuss in future issues, one family from Alaska replied:
"We'd like to see some feedback from some homeschool graduates
about what has worked, and not worked, for them."I dropped that brief note over into a folder along with several other suggestions we'd received to look over later -- but for some reason I just couldn't get this one out of my mind. The more I thought about it, the more I realized what a great idea it really was.
I thought about all the "how to homeschool" information we have read and heard over the years. 98% of it comes from parents, educators, and curriculum publishers. Yes -- occasionally we see some articles or a book by a homeschool graduate, but usually they were involved in the family business of publishing homeschool material for homeschoolers.
Now, let me say this right here: I'm not knocking ANY parent, educator, curriculum publisher or homeschooling business at all. Nor am I knocking any articles by their young people. We truly love the many great people who we have met over the years who are (often sacrificially) involved in the homeschooling marketplace. We love the study helps, books, magazines and resources that are now available in the homeschooling market, and think these wonderful people are doing a superb job supplying the resources homeschoolers need.
BUT --
I realized there was ONE very LARGE and important piece of the homeschooling puzzle that we rarely - if ever - have heard from. And that was -- regular, normal, homeschool graduates!
I'm talking about those young adults who don't write articles in homeschooling magazines and aren't involved in their family's homeschool-related business. I'm talking about those young people who have quietly graduated from their respective homeschools and have gone on with their lives: to college, to work, to learn a trade, to homemaking, to missions, or to whatever direction they have chosen to follow.
Had anyone really sat down and asked them what thoughts and advice THEY might have for other homeschoolers? (After all -- they sure are in a position to know!) If they could give any advice at all that they could to encourage and motivate other homeschool families and teens -- what would it be?
Well, to make a long story short, we created a very special survey and asked young adult homeschool graduates from all over the country to share their candid, honest advice on homeschooling during the teen (and "almost teen") years with other families who are homeschooling their own teenagers.
Amazingly, over 200 replied, and shared their hearts in a way I wasn't quite prepared for.
In fact...
The answers these 200+ homeschool grads gave to our questions
just blew me away!These young people just opened up to us with all sorts of eye-opening, straight-from-the-heart insights -- chock full of encouragement, admonition, and practical, helpful suggestions.
I was so impressed with what I was reading, I printed them all out -- pages and pages and pages of suggestions and advice -- and sat down with my wife Susan and read through each and every one. We laughed at some, nodded in agreement at some, and choked up and got convicted at others. What an experience!
Even though we are 13 year veterans at this homeschooling enterprise, we picked up all sorts of new insights into ourselves, our kids, our mission and our long-term goals for our family. We ended up making our own "to do" list of changes we wanted to make sure happened in our own homeschooling.... Pasted several quotes up on our refrigerator... Made another copy for our kids and had them read it too! We couldn't believe how helpful and inspiring they were just for our own family (with kids aged 18, 15 and 11).
And we knew, right away, that we had to share these with other homeschooling families.

Homeway PressPS. Look, I'm the first person to say that this is not the "ultimate" Homeschooling book, by any means. It isn't intended to be that! It doesn't contain every answer for every problem you're ever going to come across. There are NO lesson plans, no resource sheets, no curriculum materials in it at all.
This is different from any other "homeschooling book" you've ever seen!But... the value of this collection could be priceless to you. IF you (or your teens!) have teachable hearts, and IF you will take a bit of effort to glean the "gems" it contains, the "from the heart" advice in this collection CAN change you and your family for the better. It can make a PERMANENT difference in your homeschooling if you let it. It will give you practical, usable ideas to help keep your homeschooling efforts on the right track. It will help improve your relationship with your kids. It will give you a fresh new insight on yourself and your family. And it could easily change the way your kids look at their homeschool years -- and their future -- forever! It is THAT powerful!
P.P.S: If you know other families with homeschooled teens (or "almost teens"), PLEASE do them a favor and let them know about this very special ebook report. We would really appreciate it.
P.P.P.S: Remember that you are entitled to a full refund if you are not completely satisfied, and you can still keep the ebook as our thanks for giving it a read. Thanks so much for your support!
