Raymon Grace Seasons of April: How to Help Your Kids Succeed

This book is written as if it were written by Raymon to his daughter and covers the 17 years of her life. For many of those years--in fact, from before her birth, Raymon was talking to April and "programming" her for success as a human being. The book is touching; it is revealing a way of thinking that harks back to the indigenous way of thinking about raising children...in this time. It is inspiring. It includes information about home schooling and transitioning from home to public school.

This is not a "how to parent" book in the sense of someone lecturing you on how to be a parent--rather it provides insight into how one parent has parented in a no longer traditional way.

Those who are interested in teaching their children how to think, how to determine their own set of ethics and morals, how to stand tall in their own beingness will want to read this book--and give copies to friends.

Seasons of April is a tender reflection of raising a daughter, using home schooling techniques to ground her well in social skills as well as common sense knowledge of her environment, nature, and the "scholarly" learning required to solve problems by relying on what she knows and determining what else she may need to know in order to solve the problem.

It is also the story of being willing to follow the path you started--teaching the child to be independent--and then following her will to attend public school when she is older. Even when it's hard to "let go" and allow her to grow away from your every day protection and guidance.
