Helpful Score: 1

In reading the book Home Grown Kids I can see some of the wisdom they teach in more contemporary writings on parenting and homeschooling. Yes some of their breastfeeding and general information about digestion are outdated but not much else is. The section about each age is very helpful as it is based upon research not personal opinion and really breaks down what a child is capable of and what is beyond them for now. It only covers up to age nine however. There are true gems of wisdom in here not found many other places. The home education parts remind me of very relaxed homeschooling. The most heavy handed part is about how children really need their mothers at home mothering them especially if the parents desire their values and worldview passed on successfully. Christian yes but quietly so. I found it a balanced book in a land of extremes.
