Homeschooling can seem like a daunting task in and of itself. Homeschooling gifted and advanced learners can seem downright unimaginable.

I’m here to help.

By the end of this book, you will have all the information and tools you’ll need to homeschool your gifted or advanced student with confidence and joy!

I’ll hold your hand as you begin to think about things like:

  • choosing appropriate curriculum,
  • planning schedules that are unique to smart kids,
  • and finding homeschool groups that meet gifted needs.

I’ll help you discover your child’s learning styles and most appropriate learning environments.

I’ve included oodles of practical ideas for meeting your child’s exceptional or twice-exceptional needs in just about every subject area under the sun.

Don’t think this book is just for those thinking about or in the early stages of homeschooling! Any parent of a gifted, advanced, or even twice-exceptional student who needs to reevaluate or revamp his or her homeschool will find fresh ideas and encouragement to pursue a purposeful and exciting path.

Many have said the book really is great for anyone since it clearly lays out a plan for homeschooling with success while meeting the individual needs of children across the curriculum.

You’ll learn new ideas for everything from record-keeping, to project-based learning, to integrating technology into your homeschool in creative ways. I’ve even included a chapter on college planning!

One thing this book doesn’t cover is information about the emotional intensity that some gifted kids experience. Instead, the focus is on in-depth, very practical information about homeschooling to meet the academic and social needs of smart kids.

Why am I qualified to write a book like this for you? Besides having master’s degree in education, I’ve been there and done that – effectively (and happily) homeschooling gifted and advanced children for years and years. I’ve also successfully navigated the waters of a twice-exceptional learner.

You really CAN do this!

Not only have I set out to practically equip you with tools and confidence in Homeschooling Gifted Kids: A Practical Guide to Educate and Motivate Your Advanced Learners, I hope you will be encouraged that homeschooling can be abundantly fruitful and joyful!

1 review for Homeschooling Gifted Kids

  1. Liz – October 6, 2018

    Cindy, I have loved your book and I am reading away and nodding my head with your insight and wisdom. I feel as though I have found something I didn’t realize I even needed because I wasn’t sure exactly how to define some of my children’s quirks, traits or gifted qualities. You have given me so much to think about and work with but not in an overwhelming way but in a simple one. I have enjoyed the way you have broken down subjects, given examples of your own children and given resources to assist us. I am over halfway through, have highlighted and taken notes galore! My husband is very excited too with this information as we have been discussing your book since I bought it. Thank you. I’ve been a huge fan of your homeschoooing wisdom and as a fan of nature myself, you’ve also given me great ideas to add to our homeschool days.

    Thank you SO much for sharing this note of encouragement with me. You have no idea what it means to me. ❤️

When my boys were little, I loved reading these “letters from God” to them as blessings to start the day.
As I was sorting bookshelves earlier this month, I stumbled across this sweet book again. I decided the blessings are still as pertinent today for my bigger boy as they were years ago. So, we’re starting our day yet again with a quick, but powerful “letter from God” before jumping into our daily Bible studies.
Do you do anything special to start your day off on the right foot? I’d love to hear about it!

Winter homeschooling can be tough in normal years. Winter homeschooling can be tough in normal years. It’s cold, the days are dark, and everyone’s cooped up together 24/7. That’s a recipe for the winter blahs to march right into your house and wreak havoc on attitudes and motivation.⠀
⠀
This year’s winter is unlike any other and those blahs may have actually settled in long before now. If you or your children are feeling down, anxious, or bored with school, are “at” each other constantly, bouncing off the walls, or tears and fighting are the norm…the blahs are there.⠀
⠀
Let’s get you, your children, and your homeschool back on track. I’ll be teaching a Homeschool Masterclass on Thursday afternoon to help you kick the blahs to the curb. If you can attend live, come! If you can’t attend live, catch the replay!⠀
⠀
We’ll tackle all sorts of problems the blahs bring with them with very practical  ideas that are easy to implement! ⠀
⠀
Click the link in my bio to join me. There is no shame in admitting that the blahs have arrived and you need a little boost from a friend. ❤️ ⠀

Oh, what peace this quote brings to my soul. It’ Oh, what peace this quote brings to my soul. It’s true, you know. I’ve told my children for years that it only takes a nature walk to see God through His handiwork and to know that His promises are true.⠀
⠀
When the world seems to be falling apart around you, the sun never stops shining. The seasons never stop moving. Without a single, solitary effort of human hands, the woodlands still buzz with life.⠀
⠀
A student of nature can see the consistency in cycles and notice the incredible and creative intricacy of even the smallest specimen and be in awe that we truly serve a God who isn’t unaware of even one tiny detail in our world right now. ⠀
⠀
Life kind of seems overwhelming, though, I know. Remember when I said my motto lately has been to just put one foot in front of the other to do the next right thing? Nature walks (even when it’s cold) never fail me as a right thing. ⠀
⠀
Breathe, friend. Take a nature walk today and let God speak to your soul.⠀

It might seem trite to post a winter picture book It might seem trite to post a winter picture book list right now, but I’m a big believer in keeping things as normal as possible in my home when things aren’t so normal otherwise.⠀
⠀
It’s the principle of putting one foot in front of the other as you simply do the next right thing. Good books almost always can be a “next right thing” choice.⠀
⠀
Even though I’m not homeschooling younger children anymore, I’ll probably never stop sharing wonderful picture book ideas with you. 🤓 I’ve spent way too many hours reading and collecting to ever stop loving them!⠀
⠀
Eli and I may not be using these books right now, but they are still some of my favorites for winter reading. Whatever may be going on around you, the winter months are always a good time of year to get in lots of extra reading. Snuggling and hot chocolate are optional, but encouraged.⠀

Christmas picture books are some of my very favori Christmas picture books are some of my very favorite books of all time. I’ve spent years collecting new ones here and there (and will probably continue collecting for years to come because there are at least a few favorites I still don’t own).🤗🤫⠀
⠀
When the kiddos were younger, I would sometimes wrap each of the books and place them in a basket near the Christmas tree. 🎁 Each morning during December, one of my children would choose a book to unwrap and that was the one we would read for the day. Oh, such precious memories!⠀
⠀
This year, even though my youngest is in 8th grade, the books are not hidden away! I’ve found a creative way to read them with Eli. We’re using them as mentor texts for his own stories during language arts. #sneakysmart (He’s writing some pretty great stories, too!)⠀
