Beverley Paine is committed to supporting home educating parents who practice non-violent and attachment parenting. Since 1989 she has worked towards the goal of the establishment of consistent and transparent guidelines and regulations for the provision of home education.
Her desire is to help families grow towards enlightened parenting and educational practices that respect and honour the individual learning and developmental needs of all children. She has worked with homeschooling parents, teachers and bureaucrats to help improve educational opportunities for children.
Beverley began writing for home educators in 1989 and continues to add to her growing collection of homeschooling and unschooling titles. Her aim is to demystify the education process and make it accessible to all parents. She began home educating her children when it was almost unheard of in Australia and is a passionate advocate of true educational choice for families. She hopes you enjoy browsing the many free articles on this website and invites you to visit her online bookshop Always Learning Books.
Learn how to teach your children at home with Beverley Paine's Getting Started with Homeschooling Practical Considerations - Australia's premier 'how to homeschool' manual.
"The best thing I ever did when I started homeschooling was read this book. It has all the practical stuff, but most importantly it encourages you to look at why you are wanting to homeschool, and what you are wanting to achieve. It will also show you that there are many different ways to home educate (from 'school at home' to 'natural learning'), and encourages you to find what works best for you and your children. I still go back and look at it all the time." Nikki, ACT
