8 Great Smarts for Homeschoolers

Discipleship & Christian Education

“I have successfully used the eight smarts popularized by Dr. Kathy Koch when homeschooling my youngest children. Because Tina Hollenbeck lists many teaching ideas for each smart by academic area, it will now be even easier. If you want to become a better teacher and avoid the frustration that comes from the useless "slower and louder" method, this book is for you! You'll learn exactly how to use a different smart when reteaching concepts—and find success for your child and yourself. I'm grateful for this resource!”

“Homeschooling. I've been at it for a long time now, having home­schooled seven kids over twenty-four years—and as a veteran homeschool mom, I can tell you that this is the book I wish I had read when we first started homeschooling. Drawing from decades of experience, September points new homeschool parents back to the reason they made such a monumental decision and reminds veterans that the journey is worth finishing well. Whether you need encouragement to stay the course, practical advice, or a hand to hold as you embrace homeschooling your children, this book is for you.”

Made to Move Mountains

Christian Living

“Heidi St. John, author, speaker, blogger, and executive director at Firmly Planted Family “Raising World Changers in a Changing World is a must-read for every Christian parent who desires for their children to burst out of the safe, predictable bubble of the American Dream and begin living a life of service that is greater than anything they could ever ask or imagine.”

Parent Differently

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“This is a confusing time to parent children—unless, of course, you are parenting them with the unchanging principles that are found in the Bible. Dr. Kathy uses biblical principles to provide clarity on the issue of character as it relates to raising children. Perhaps there has never been a more important time for this message. In a world that has rejected moral absolutes, Dr. Kathy reminds us to parent differently. Her voice exhorts and encourages parents to follow Jesus as they raise their children in these confusing times. If you are looking for a must-read book on parenting, this one should be in your library!”

Resilient Kids

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“If you want your children to be brave so they'll do what's right even when it's hard, they'll need to be resilient. This allows them to bounce back when they aren't successful the first time they try something and when they're knocked down, overwhelmed, and experience heartache. Dr. Kathy's ideas will empower you to stop bubble-wrapping your children. Now they can learn from challenges and mature in their character and faith. This is most important to me and why I appreciate Resilient Kids. Dr. Kathy's insights about spiritual resiliency are fresh and important and worth the price of the book!”

Resolve Conflict and Find Peace and Hope with Adult Children

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Dr. Kathy Koch has written a timely, grace-filled, and desperately needed guide for parents navigating one of the most tender seasons of life—shepherding adult children. Resolve Conflict and Find Peace and Hope with Adult Children is honest without being harsh, biblical without being legalistic, and practical in ways that actually help real families. In her usual style, Dr. Kathy offers wisdom, humility, and hope—calling parents to personal growth while reminding them that God is still at work, even when relationships feel strained or broken. This is a book I'll be recommending often, especially to parents who are committed to seeing relationships with their young adult children healed and healthy.”
