This list was created for parents who are homeschooling or considering homeschooling their children. We have members with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens.

We tend to be AP (attachment parenting) parents, with an emphasis on raising happy children first and foremost! The list is a supportive environment for parents to share ideas, lesson plans, crafts and advice, as well as day-to-day joys and frustrations of being a hands-on parent.

We are also inclusive, so everybody is welcome except bigots. :) We are a group of all different religions and backgrounds, and all should be respected.

Participation is required. We promise to be friendly but we're not here to just entertain people peering in the windows.

NOTE: Since this is a closed list where members share personal information talk about their children, the group has requested that new members tell the moderator some information before joining. None of this information will be shared with the group. It is for verification purposes only and will remain confidential.

You are free to check me out at http://www.magicalchildhood.com to see more about me, too.
