Here is the overview of the book, to assist your diving – and your launch of your own homeschool experience:
- Chapter 1 lays out the advantages of homeschooling; this is important, because your reasons for home schooling will in large part determine the fruit of your endeavors.
- Chapter 2 gives you the overview of where you are heading: it explains how you can become “the guide on the side” (which is the homeschool paradigm) rather than the traditional view of the teacher as “the sage on the stage“ by preparing homeschooling to-do charts that enable you to check each child’s progress throughout the school day. You are raising future adults. Closely supervised child-appropriate delegation of responsibilities helps your children become positive, powerful and spiritually sound contributors to the world.
- Homeschooling is often a challenge due to strengths and weaknesses in both the student and the teacher. Because tutoring happens one-on-one, character flaws are exposed (and are addressed) in a way that can never happen in a schoolroom with one teacher and 20 children. Chapters 3 and 12 (goofy rewards) offer you tips for motivating and rewarding your children so that they complete those daily academic tasks.
- Moving from the overview into the specifics, chapter 4 lays out the subjects to be conquered in a child’s education and explains your options in that regard. The basics of teaching (and having your children actually learn) the 3 R’s (reading, writing and arithmetic) are introduced in that chapter and in chapters 5 through 8. Additional topics—drawing and musical training — follow in chapters 9 and 10. Section 2 includes tips for developing smart study skills at the elementary through middle school years.
- The third section, chapters 13-15, concludes the book with ideas for teaching a pre-K tot, teaching a child who is unusually gifted in some areas, and raising an only child. Homeschooling begins when your little child joins your family, not at some arbitrary age six years later, and is tailored to your particular needs and circumstances. Science indicates that much of the wiring of the human brain is completed by the time we reach about eight years old. The earlier we can stimulate the left- and right-brain activities, the greater that person’s abilities, influence and accomplishments can be, over a lifetime.
- The book concludes in Chapter 16 as it began—looking back at the big picture view of homeschooling. It does this by describing the two of the most common academic pitfalls for homeschoolers, and then describing the earmarks of a biblically sound educational program.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to HPB-Diamond, Carrollton, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
