The Brave Learner


Book Description

Publishers Weekly bestseller · A joyful and accessible homeschool guide to making learning a part of everyday life Parents who are deeply invested in their children's education can be hard on themselves and their kids. When exhausted parents are living the day-to-day grind, it can seem impossible to muster enough energy to make learning fun or interesting. How do parents nurture a love of learning amid childhood chaos, parental self-doubt, the flu, and state academic standards? In this book, Julie Bogart distills decades of experience--homeschooling her five now grown children, developing curricula, and training homeschooling families around the world--to show parents how to make education an exciting, even enchanting, experience for their kids, whether they're in elementary or high school. Enchantment is about ease, not striving. Bogart shows parents how to make room for surprise, mystery, risk, and adventure in their family's routine, so they can create an environment that naturally moves learning forward. If a child wants to pick up a new hobby or explore a subject area that the parent knows little about, it's easy to simply say "no" to end the discussion and the parental discomfort, while dousing their child's curious spark. Bogart gently invites parents to model brave learning for their kids so they, too, can approach life with curiosity, joy, and the courage to take learning risks.




Write It Down, Make It Happen


Book Description

Too often, people drift through life with a feeling of frustration, longing to find some adventure or purpose in life, envious of those whose lives seem exciting. In WRITE IT DOWN, MAKE IT HAPPEN, Henriette Anne Klauser shows you how to write your own lifescript. Simply writing down your goals in life is the first step towards achieving them. The 'writing it down' part is not about time management; it is not a 'to-do today' list that will make you feel guilty if you don't get everything done. Rather, writing it down is about clearing your head, identifying what you want and setting your intent. You can 'make it happen' purely by believing in the possibility. In WRITE IT DOWN, MAKE IT HAPPEN, there are stories from ordinary people who witnessed miracles large and small unfold in their lives after they performed the basic act of putting their goals on paper.

Memoirs of a Forgetful Mind: Write It Down Before You Forget It


Book Description

Whispers in the Margins: A Chronicle of Memory and Mischief In the quiet corners of our lives, where the mundane meets the magical, lies a forgotten art—an art of ink and intuition. Write It Down Before You Forget It (Or Blame It on the Squirrels) invites you into this clandestine realm—a place where memory dances with mischief, and words become constellations. Imagine standing before an ancient door, its lintel adorned with cryptic symbols. As you cross that threshold, you encounter an epigraph—a whispered promise. It hints at the emotional landscape ahead, setting the tone for what lies within. Is it sad, whimsical, or mysterious? The epigraph knows. Dear reader, may you too venture forth—quill in hand—and chronicle your odyssey. For in Forget-Me-Not Hollow, every scribble is a star chart, and every memory is a treasure waiting to be found. Dear Friend, In the hustle and bustle of life, amidst the digital noise and endless to-do lists, a quiet sanctuary exists—an empty page waiting for your thoughts, dreams, and reflections. That sanctuary is your journal. Why Journal? Clarity: Pouring your thoughts onto paper untangles the knots in your mind. Suddenly, chaos becomes a roadmap. Memory Keeper: Your journal is a time capsule. Capture fleeting moments—the taste of morning coffee, the scent of rain, the laughter shared with loved ones. Emotional Release: Write about joy, frustration, heartache, or wonder. Let your emotions dance across the page. They’ll thank you for the space. Creativity Booster: Scribble, doodle, sketch. Your journal is a canvas. Your squiggles have stories even if you can’t draw a straight line. Self-Discovery: As you write, you unearth hidden gems—your quirks, fears, and secret desires. You’re both an archaeologist and poet. Tips for Starting: No Rules: Your journal is a judgment-free zone. Spelling mistakes? Scribbles? Perfect. Just write. Consistency, Not Perfection: Don’t wait for the “right” moment. Write when you’re messy, tired, or joyful. The magic lies in showing up. Morning Pages: Try Julia Cameron’s technique—three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing each morning. It’s like yoga for your mind. Gratitude Journal: List three things you’re grateful for each day. It’s a heartwarming habit. Remember: Your journal isn’t just paper; it’s a confidante, a time-travel device, and a friend who never interrupts. So grab a pen, open that blank page, and let your soul spill forth. P.S. If you ever meet a squirrel with a silver tail reading an epigraph, ask it for its favorite riddle. Squirrels are surprisingly well-read! 🌟📚🐿️
