Wondering how to make the most of school vacation without breaking the family budget?
Frustrated by bored children watching too much TV and spending too much time on video games?
"For most parents, summer vacation can be a bitter-sweet experience.
With the kids out of school, the challenge of idle kids, too much TV,
video games, and mischief - summer can seem unbearable. Even vacation
trips are a challenge - especially the long hours in the car. Lorraine
J. Alldredge, mother of eleven wonderfully normal children, has
developed a remarkable program to fill young minds with both purpose
and enjoyment while out of school.
"As a determined young mother, Alldredge wanted to raise responsible, happy children and the summer months became her opportunity to do so. Mini-classes in cooking, cleaning and sewing were coupled with group rewards. Her approach to camping and traveling were equally refreshing, boosting those activities from challenges to really fun opportunities. I heartily recommend both the spirit and the transforming details of Lorraine`s program to parents everywhere. So, what can YOUR KIDS do in the summertime? Hopefully, follow this book`s sound advice."
Forword by Richard Paul Evans
#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Christmas Box
"In the end, there is no program or policy that can substitute for a parent, for a mother or father who will attend those parent teacher conferences, or help with homework, or turn off the TV, put away the video games, or read to their child. I speak to you not just as a president, but as a father when I say that responsibility for our children's education must begin at home. That is not a Democratic issue or a Republican issue. That's an American issue."
There is nothing old fashioned about saying that children need to learn how to be responsible, smart, and hard working. Teaching children properly is a very modern and current issue.
Responsible children come from responsible parents. It takes concentrated effort to raise a child to his/her potential. Learn from a dedicated mom, Lorraine Alldredge, how to raise normal kids into smart, hard working, caring adults.
