The Homeschooling Trail
The Homeschooling Trail
Beverley Paine

Faced with an uncertain financial future, Michele Hasting, a Christian unschooling mother of seven years experience, begins to doubt her ability to continue teaching her children at home. Her insecurities lead her to begin to question her faith and her ability to provide an adequate education for her two boys.
The Homeschooling Trail is an intimate and detailed account of how the children in one family learn at home using an eclectic mix of methods and resources, finely tuned into the passing seasons of school work, community participation, and family life.

"This is, however, not another book about picture perfect homeschoolers... the author invites us to “be a fly on our wall for a realistic day-by-day glimpse of homeschooling life”, including sports, video games, chores and some angst over covering academic basics. ... Most of all, the book is about trust. Trusting children to learn. Trusting ourselves as parents and as mothers – our intuition and our personalities are important in our homeschooling adventure. And, for Hastings , the importance of trust in God." Leonie Westenberg
"What I sometimes find in the home schooling community is a false projection of perfection that makes me discouraged. I love the way Michele tells it like it is—walking me through her days and sharing with me her passion for home schooling. Her delight-centered learning approach offers me freedom to do home school in a more laid-back, child-centered way."

Thoughtful reflections, practical reassurance, and lived wisdom for home educating families.
Thoughtful reflections, practical reassurance, and lived wisdom for home educating families.
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
