Read by the author.

Monica Swanson helps you navigate your real-world concerns about school, culture, and what it takes to create an amazing homeschool experience that you and your kids will never regret!

If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to homeschool your children, look no further. Parenting author, podcaster, and homeschool mom Monica Swanson is here to tell you: you can do it. In fact, it can be the most fun, family-unifying, character-building, life-equipping experience you and your children will ever have.

Becoming Homeschoolers tackles your legitimate doubts and fears about homeschooling, as well as the questions you want answered before you commit—questions like where to start and how to choose a curriculum, build social skills, teach what you're not good at, and prepare for college. With humor and encouragement, Monica weaves her own story of homeschooling her four boys with step-by-step, practical advice on how to:

• Assess whether home education is right for you and your children
• Establish a foundation of faith in your everyday homeschool routine
• Find socialization opportunities such as sports and extracurricular activities
• Care for yourself and your marriage even as you spend more time each day with your kids
• Tackle the practical side of homeschooling, including standardized tests, transcripts, college readiness, and navigating education requirements

It's time to trade fear for empowerment and insecurity for confidence as you live out your own story of becoming homeschoolers.

I loved it so much I bought 2 extra copies for my friends!

I absolutely loved this book. I want to homeschool my children but I have absolutely no idea where to start! I am very afraid I will mess up and then my kids resent me for homeschooling them. I am absolutely encouraged to continue on this journey. Thanks Monica Swanson

Her passion.

Loved it! Helped me keeping going with homeschooling my three boys. I’m encouraged by her enthusiasm!

Detailed and inspiring

Monica was thorough in detailing every aspect of homeschooling. She was encouraging in explaining how homeschooling can be done in many ways, even if people are hesitant or think they cannot make it happen. Monica is an inspiration.

binge worthy book

I loved Monica’s previous book Raising Amazing. This one was more practical advice on homeschooling. As a possible homeschool family in the future, I loved every second of this book.

Just what I needed to hear!

My husband and I were both homeschooled growing up and have begun homeschooling our 4 (and counting) children - so we are early on in our journey (3rd grade). Monica’s work (other books, blog, social media, podcast) have been a rich encouragement and support to me in my journey, and this book is a treasure! I bought the hard copy so I can highlight, dog ear pages and reference it as we progress into new stages of our homeschool years together. I consider this book a reference guide for all things homeschool and will look at it plenty in the future!
I am recommending it to all of my friends with school age children.
Thank you, Monica and Dave, for sharing your family and all of the rich truths and experiences the Lord has taught you so that this next generation of homeschoolers can benefit. We are blessed by your obedience.

What an encouragement!!

I loved reading this book. We homeschooled for a couple years due to various life situations. This year we’ve chosen to stick with it because we like it! Monica was so encouraging in this book and provided good biblical and practical reasons to homeschool.

Amazing book for anyone considering Homeschooling!

This book is so detailed and enjoyable to read! I am now sure of my decision to homeschool my boys and looking forward to the memories to be made. I now feel more confidence of facing homeschooling thanks to the resources and knowledge shared in this book. I recommend anyone who is slightly considering homeschooling to read this book.
