1. In his autobiography, @thecolesummers wrote about how:
• at age 10, he bought and flipped a house

2. Most kids are being smothered by a lack of freedom.
When kids lack control over their own lives, they become stressed and unmotivated (Read: most kids in school).
When they have control, they become inspired.
This book is a great resource on granting your kids that space.

4. While @Kerry_edu’s book is about unschooling, the principles it covers apply to all kids — home full-time or not.

Bringing more of that into their lives can dramatically increase their self-direction.

In order to thrive, your kids need more space for creativity, exploration, and joy than school can give them.
Each of these are things you can give them at home. These books will give you a great jumping-off point.
