I just got this book and cannot put it down -- Christine offers such EXCELLENT, easy to implement, practical ideas for teaching kids the everyday skills they need to get through life. Highly recommended!

If you can't get past bible quotes, don't get this book

While I give credit to the goal and objectives of this book-- teaching your children about good decision-making, working as a team, self-esteem, self-sufficiency-- the bible references can be a little hard to swallow for the secular parent who's homeschooling their child not for religious reasons, or just wants to use the materials offered in this book. If you can't stomach comments in the 'spiritual habits' chapter such as 'The Bible is clear that homosexuality is a perversion'(with the scripture refernces to prove it) or a Life Skills checklist of whether everyone has their own bibles (despite the quick comment earlier to letting your kids 'study' other religions if they're curious) , then you may not want to contribute to the royalty check the author will receive from purchase of this book.

A great resource!

This is a great resource for parents who want to teach their children what they'll really need to know. Everything from finances to cooking to simple repairs to hygeine is included...and for ALL ages! It's a book I refer to often!

Wonderful and practical information!

I had the chance to meet the author of this book at a recent homeschool conference and was blown away by her practical ideas! This woman is not big on ideology or theory...she gets down to the practical matters at hand. Yeah for her! You will love this book if you are looking for ways to involve your children in the real world classroom.
