Homeschooling

You’re Doing It Right Just by Doing It

By: Ginny Yurich MEd

Narrated by: Ginny Yurich MEd

Be encouraged! You're already "doing it right" just by doing it.

• a must-have resource for parents who homeschool or who want to start
• from the founder of the 1000 Hours Outside Movement
• equips parents with the confidence and tools they need to give their children the education they dream of and deserve

During the past five years, homeschooling rates have been on the rise and show no signs of slowing. But many parents lack confidence, questioning whether they are doing it right (or whether they should take the plunge at all). With so many voices offering conflicting advice, it's hard to know where to start and where to go from there.

A homeschooling mother of five and founder of 1000 Hours Outside, Ginny Yurich draws from her years of experience and research, as well as her master's degree in education from the University of Michigan, to encourage and equip parents who want to give homeschooling a try or want to improve their experience.

Starting from the standpoint of "you're doing it right" instead of "you're doing it wrong," Ginny helps parents understand that just by choosing to homeschool they are:

• learning through living
• allowing for individual timelines
• leaving space for boredom
• providing multiage experiences
• teaching self-reliance
• offering freedom
• slowing down
• and more!

If you've been on the fence about homeschooling or wondering if you're doing it all wrong, let Ginny encourage you in all you've already accomplished and equip you for even greater things ahead.

I loved this SO much!!

The perfect pep talk for homeschooling parents, or anyone considering it. Lots of research, common sense, and personal experience to support a lifestyle that is harder, but so much more rewarding. It reminded me of so many of the reasons we started this journey to begin with, and has encouraged me to keep going with what I know in my heart is right, even when it is hard or looks so different than most of those around us. I can see myself coming back to this year after year to remind myself of my why. I literally felt like shouting “Amen” in every chapter. It spoke to my deepest hopes for my family and I will definitely be buying some copies to give to my other homeschooling mamas. Thank you for this book!

What an encouragement!

This book was a great summer listen to help encourage me to keep going for another homeschool year.

the confirmation I needed

We have always wanted to homeschool our children but now that our oldest is approaching kindergarten this coming year I have had such self doubt in my own abilities, this book was an answer to unspoken prayers. I feel confident and excited in our decision, we are ready to move forward. thank you ginny!

Exactly what I needed.

I wish I had this when I first started my homeschool journey. But so glad I’m reading it now. Just what I needed!

what a wealth of knowledge.

I loved the narration and dedication to this book. I particularly liked all the references whether to a quote, a Bible verse or even another book. I've added several of the recommendations to my list. great book. a must have for homeschooling parents. it's a huge pep talk as well as an informative and guided book of homeschooling.
