Beverley Paine takes a fresh new approach to the issue of motivation in the home learning environment, or what most of us would call, "what to do when my child doesn't want to learn anything"! In her typical self-critical and analytical way she digs deep into the subject of motivation, unearthing some practical and useful tips and ideas to help make life easier for both parent and child.
Peppered with personal anecdotes and examples, Beverley's honest and authentic writing style will help you to discover a path toward developing trust in intrinsic motivation and less reliance on extrinsic motivation. Expect bunches of carrots, rather than bundles of sticks!

"I can't even adequately express how inspiring your common sense, experience, empathetic responses and articles over the years have been." Lusi Austin, That Homeschool Life
The Always Learning collection brings together a series of reflective, experience-based eBooks written for parents who want to understand learning more deeply – beyond curriculum, checklists, and outcomes.
Grounded in decades of homeschooling and unschooling practice, these books explore how children actually learn, how parents grow alongside them, and how education unfolds naturally through everyday life, relationships, curiosity, and trust.
Rather than offering rigid methods or prescriptive programs, the Always Learning collection invites you to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most in home education: meaningful learning, respectful relationships, and confidence in your child’s innate capacity to grow.
Inside the collection you’ll find:
Reflections on learning, childhood, and education drawn from lived experience
Gentle challenges to school-centred thinking
Reassurance for parents navigating doubt, pressure, or uncertainty
Language to help articulate your philosophy of home education
Permission to trust yourself and your children
