Teach Your Own

The Indispensable Guide to Living and Learning with Children at Home

By: John Holt, Pat Farenga

Narrated by: George Newbern

The classic guide to teaching children at home for a new generation of homeschooling parents In 2019, there were more than two million children being homeschooled. That number doubled during the pandemic and is now likely to continue increasing as more parents worry that school might not be the best place for their children to learn and grow.

Teach Your Own helped launch the homeschooling movement; now, its timeless and revolutionary message of recognizing the ways children come to understand the world has been updated for today’s environment. Parents and caregivers will discover how to navigate:

• Learning in a classroom versus learning in the world
• The difference between a learning difficulty (which we all experience every time we try to learn anything) and a learning disability.
• Schedules that achieve the homeschooling-work-life balance that you want as a family
• The relationship between learning and play
• Homeschooling and technology
• And much more.

John Holt's warm understanding of children and his passionate belief in every child's ability to learn have made this book an essential resource for over forty years to homeschooling families.

Overall informative

Overall great, just felt like the most impactful information was in the last chapter. I wish there was more specific details on how to get setup to homeschool.

Fantastic!

Great information for homeschooling and unschooling. Very encouraging. Narration is clear and pleasant to listen to.

Great resource

Undeniably one of the most useful and helpful book on homeschooling and unschooling that I’ve read so far. Pleasant and engaging narrating voice.

Comprehensive & Encouraging

From top to bottom, this is the most helpful and encouraging outline of how homeschool exists as a viable educational option for children and families. I especially like how it doesn’t take a position of anti-school, but focuses on learning and formation of children.

This is well worth the listen

This book was great! It taught me so much as a homeschooling mother that I can use everyday to improve our homeschool.
