Delighting in the Days of Childhood

A 132-Page Book of Some of our Best Articles on Childhood

The beauty of this life with our children is that we not only get to reclaim childhood for our kids, but we also get to delight in it. This means enjoying the time we have with them—even in the midst of homeschooling.

We delight in childhood by not rushing it along, but rather letting it unfold one day, one month, and one year at a time.

We delight in childhood by understanding that education is unique to each child and allowing the curriculum of curiosity to guide our days.

We delight in childhood when we allow it to be a time to learn and grow at a pace that is right for each child.

We delight in childhood by understanding that nature unlocks the imagination and inspires creativity in ways that a schoolroom never could.

We delight in childhood by giving our kids time for play, movement, nature, wonder, and imagination to teach them things we never could.

And we delight in childhood by delighting in our children—who they are, what they love, and how they think.

We're thrilled to announce the forthcoming release of our new print collection called Delighting in the Days of Childhood.

This 132-page, perfect-bound book featuring some of our best articles about childhood over the past few years.

We're collecting pre-orders by September 15th and will only print the number of books that are pre-ordered, so don't miss out!

We'll ship the books in mid-October!

This printed collection of bundle articles comes in a beautiful, 132-page perfect-bound book. Books will ship in mid-October.
