Bøger af Ross Mountney

Motherhood is full of joy but full of tricky bits too - and that doesn't just mean the baby! Most of them you're not even aware of - certainly are not prepared for, and many leave you floundering. This book talks about ways to handle them and go on to be the mum you want to be. And it shows something even more important. It shows how being a mum has far more worth and far more influence than you'd ever realised. For mums don't just change nappies they have the potential to change societies. They don't just push buggies they push the limits of personal growth. And to be a good mum is actually amazingly simple and accessible to all; this book shows you how. With the warm and commonsensical voice she's known for, Ross provides an easy and reassuring read to help mums along their motherhood journey.

The children were just not thriving in school. They were unhappy, unwell and switched off. But what on earth could their parents do about it? They couldn't possibly home educate...or could they? This is the story of the excitement, panic and hilarity of life with kids when you home school. A story to move hearts and minds and get you giggling. And change your view of education forever. "At last a book that dispels the myths surrounding home-education and demonstrates the lifestyle perfectly, I was nodding my head in agreement throughout." Julia Pollard.

This book explains what home education is; the advantages and disadvantages of this route; how to begin home educating; what you need to do and how to help your child adjust; and how home education affects children's social skills and friendships. It also covers technical aspects, such as the curriculum, core subjects, exams and timetables.
