Absolutely realistic and fun!

Carol Barnier's book on homeschooling active children really struck a cord with me when I first read it. I had homeschooled just such a child and she really knew how it works. You don't have to be homeschooling a child with ADHD, however, to use this book--her teaching methods are just so much fun that any homeschooling parent will benefit from using them! This is a book that will make you fel good about yourself and your teaching, while showing you how to do more than just survive--you'll learn to have the time of your life!

The BEST book on homeschooling how to I've read

This book is the best book of how to homeschool I have ever read. Its humorous, not preachy, and you come away with MANY MANY ideas about how to make homeschooling work for you and your child (ren). I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I like it so much its now on my "not to be loaned out" list!

Practical!

I loved this book and know that I will continue to reference it in years to come. Ms. Barnier gives you some very practical suggestions for teaching various subject areas. If you have a child with ADHD, this is a must read!

Great, and fun resourse for Homschooling "hyper" children

My husband and I found this book when we were searching for answers when trying to decide if we should homeschool our son who we were being told that he may have ADHD. We wanted to homeschool because we were afraid of the school "giving up" on him. We were afraid to homeschool because if professional's could not teach my son how could I. I saw the title and thought this is my son. It has been a great resource. It gave my husband ideas on how to work with our son. The tips and insight the book offered has not only helped us to educate our son but also has helped me to understand where he is coming from and a little more about him. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is either considering homeschooling an ADD, ADHD or even just Hyper child, or if you even just want to tutor you child afterschool it will still be a vaulable reference.

Nuts and Bolts of Homeschooling an ADHD Child

I absolutely love this book! Carol Barnier is witty, creative, and knows exactly what it is like to have an ADHD child, because she wrote this book from her own experiences. It not only provides the compassionate understanding we all need as parents of ADHD children, but she gives you nuts and bolts info on HOW TO HOMESCHOOL an ADHD child. Carol explains how to teach every subject to a wiggly ADHD child using techniques that appeal to every learning style!Oh, did I mention that Carol Barnier is a Christian and that this book is unashamedly Christian? She even has a section on "Sitting Still in Church".
