I WISH someone with this much experience helped guide me through the roadschooling experience with all these tips before I started!

Even though I am a qualified teacher with oodles of rich experiences, teaching your own children is very different – enjoyable in parts, but not as easy and ideal as you think.

Our tips will help you do it better and keep your sanity!

Free ebook: Life Learning for kids

The Ikara Flinders Ranges National Park is one of the best places to visit in Australia. Rawnsley Lookout has great views. Click to read more about this beautiful region to visit in South Australia.

I have a new free ebook, you can access, called Life Learning for Kids – 31 ways to empower your kids to grow, learn and prosper – in school and out.

I am super passionate about empowering children to become the best version of themselves. I don’t think schools have the capacity to do the best job of this, so this ebook was written with the intention to help parents fill in the gaps, as well as help you get the best out of the school experience you can.

It’s a collection of articles I wrote for an online parenting website on how Learning Matters. In it, you’ll find 31 strategies to help your children become those thriving beings.

There are two sections in the ebook, Your Child and Life and Your Child and School.

These are based on what I have learned through my experiences as a mother, former teacher, global traveler, entrepreneur, and homeschooler. It will help any parent, traveling or not!
