How To Use Our Resources
Our guidebooks are supplemental to homeschool curricula. We focus specifically on helping parents explain tricky DEI subjects to kids.
For example, for social studies lessons that mention religion, our religious freedom guidebook provides non-biased, truthful information about the wide range of religions in our world.
The goal is to enable kids to easily digest that information and then formulate their own opinion.
Our #1 priority is to enable critical thinking and lifelong learning.

2nd grade American History
My 7 YO daughter is learning about American history and the events that led up to the birth of our nation. We chose a secular, progressive curriculum to follow, but there was still lots of room for me to fill in the "humanity" pieces. Even though she's just learning the basics, I could tell she was in full learning mode as soon as I started talking about the Native American experience.

4th grade Economy Basics
"How to Talk About Poverty and Homelessness" was the perfect resource for responding to my son's Economy lesson plan curiosity. As soon as we started the lesson, the conversation quickly turned to his questions about poverty and homelessness.
I'm so glad I had read the guidebook the day before. Every quick-read chapter was helpful, but I was the most grateful for chapter 4 that explained how to answer kids' common questions about poverty. When my son asked "what if we lose our house?" I knew exactly what to say.

5th grade History
I'm all for it. My daughter is learning about women's suffrage and now she wants to know everything there is to know about women's history, where women's rights stand now, and where she fits in. I'll be honest...I'm not equipped to respond to everything she's been asking. Every day it feels like she comes up with a new question.
I found a lot of the information I need in "How to Teach Girls They're Just as Worthy as Boys" - things like how to define gender bias, what are some of the girl-power groups she can join, and things I can do around the house to make it feel more gender-equal. I'm hoping her curiosity will continue.
