It’s almost launch day for The Joy of Slow: Restoring Balance and Wonder to Homeschool Learning and I couldn’t be more excited! But that also means that after August 12th, the pre-order bonus will no longer be available. And friends, it really is SO GOOD! It’s a companion podcast series with an episode for each book chapter. You can watch a video about it here right after the “About the Book” section.
In each episode, I discuss a chapter of the book with someone different. There’s so much wisdom and inspiration you’ll receive for free! This exclusive series has a stellar lineup of guests:
- Chapter 1: Ainsley Arment
- Chapter 2: Robyn Robertson
- Chapter 3: Torrie Oglesby
- Chapter 4: Sally Clarkson
- Chapter 5: Jennifer Pepito
- Chapter 6: Amber O’Neal Johnston
- Chapter 7: Elsie Iudicello
- Chapter 8: Julie Bogart
- Chapter 9: Greta Eskridge
- Chapter 10: Ginny Yurich
- Chapter 11: Leah Boden
Access to the first episode will be available upon pre-order of the book and submission of the entry form. The full series will be delivered to you on launch day, August 13th. There’s even exclusive video content that I’ll add too! The bonus also comes with a downloadable PDF notebook to go along with the sessions.
In a culture that prioritizes productivity, efficiency, and success, it’s easy to lose sight of the joy in education—including within the homeschooling community. In The Joy of Slow, Leslie Martino offers parents a guide to cultivating an unhurried lifestyle and education in order to help their children thrive.
This resource fills a need in a growing community of parents opting to homeschool their children. More parents than ever are seeking guidance on offering a rigorous education without sacrificing the freedom and holistic development that homeschooling can provide.
Parents should not only nurture wonder and imagination with their young children but throughout their education, and Leslie provides the tools to accomplish just that.
Drawing on over 20 years of experience teaching in the classroom, homeschooling her four children, and developing a homeschool coaching program, Leslie shows parents how to slow down and recapture the delight and depth that are hallmarks of meaningful learning.
In The Joy of Slow, Leslie offers practical guidance on:
- applying an approach to learning for all ages that capitalizes on a child’s natural curiosity
- creating daily rhythms that celebrate the ordinary and make space for spontaneity
- supporting children as they explore personal interests and engage in self-directed learning
- tracking students’ progress in ways that might be overlooked by traditional assessments
- prioritizing connection with other people and the natural world
The Joy of Slow offers a much-needed reset, inspiring parents to pay attention to the needs of each individual child and to help them find renewed freedom and passion.
