- Free Market Rules curriculum – This weekly curriculum helps parents & children of all ages to learn together about the free market.
- The Tuttle Twins Choose Your Consequence books for teens – These books feature a series of adventures where you control the story! You’ll be able to observe the outcomes of different economic & political situations.
- Is there such a thing as “failing” with homeschooling?
This was so helpful and encouraging! Thank you, Abby, for doing the interview and asking such helpful questions. Also, thank you, Connor Boyack, for writing such amazing books for both adults and children.
As one of those moms who are picking up homeschooling in the fall for the first time, this was much needed wisdom and advice on how to proceed.
So glad it was helpful, Diana!! 🙂
