Newly Revised Edition Learning at Home

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>This book is written from a mother's point of view. I started writing this book in 1995. It took me three years to complete and publish the first edition. It took me three years to complete because I was writing in mother time. My writing took place in odd times in odd places and in spurts. I enjoyed the whole process. Two years later I published the revised edition.  It included material new to the first edition. This newly revised edition issued nine years after the first edition also incorporates new material and a different perspective now that my youngest child is 21 years old.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Mothering and homeschooling gave me a chance to develop myself in ways that I could never have imagined before I started. In Western culture freedom from child caring responsibilities is often seen as the best and only way for a mother to continue to develop herself.  I couldn't disagree more.  The time I spent being at home playing and learning with my children has been the most productive period of my life.
