The Brave Writer Lifestyle: How It Worked with My Kids
Walk down memory lane with me and see how we practiced the Brave Writer Lifestyle in my home!
My best memories are from all the times I went off-script in home education. I followed the rabbit trails, I followed my children’s leads, and I stayed alert to great ideas from unconventional sources. I used Family Fun magazine, for instance, as a resource for educational ideas far more frequently than any traditional curriculum. Immersive experiences created the kind of education I always wanted my children to have.
In the broadcast below, I share how I did what I did with my kids and I even showcase some of their writing!
