Do you want to really enjoy your child? do iou want him or her to have the best possible teacher and go to the best possible school? According to Raymond and Dorothy Moore, that teacher is you, the parent and that school can be your home. they have prepared this influential boook to show how, by using the everyday resourses and experiences of your own home environment, you can truly enjoy your child and give him or her a wholesome first class education that neither stifles creativity nor hampers character development. The Moores believe that many educational problesm as well as potentially severe damage to family moral and spiritual values, can arise from too much formal school too soon. In Home Grown Kids they present well documented evidence for these conclusions and they urge parents to consider the option of home teaching, especially in the early years. At the sme time, they know that many papents must relay on child care and education outside the home, and insted of guilt trips they offer practical suggestions for supplementing a formal school program.
