This is National Parenting Gifted Children Week, so it seems appropriate mid-week to take a short break from our Get Serious About Writing series to let you know that my first book on homeschooling, Creative Homeschooling: A Guide for Smart Families, is in its 2nd edition as an ebook!
This new digital edition, available on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, has updated links and resources and some reorganization to help families better understand their bright, curious, creative, quirky children and give them what they need to learn—or, more often than not, to get out of their way to allow them to learn.
I am always excited to share my passion for homeschooling. Our son is now 22, married and in law school, and he doesn’t regret for a moment his choice to homeschool for ten years, through high school. It was the best decision our family ever made, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

This book is an excellent resource for parents of gifted children, very helpful if you are trying to make that decision to home school your child(ren). This is the # 1 book all parents should(a must read) read. Thank you so much Lisa! And I did get the great pleasure to meet you Lisa a few years ago when you were a speaker at the Davidson Summit in Nevada. All your books are wonderfully written. Thank you! 🙂
Dee, thank you very much for taking the time to write this! You made my day. I hope all is going well with your family. I miss our homeschooling years. 🙂
Definitely a must-have resource for homeschoolers!
Thank you!! I do miss homeschooling.
