Back to Basics: Raising Self – Sufficient Children
by Barbara Frank

Times are changing. We’re learning that making do is a lost art that we need to revive.

When money was tight for our grandparents, they could still enjoy good food and nice clothing and furniture because they knew how to make these things for themselves. They were self-sufficient.

Are you raising your children to be self-sufficient? In the uncertain days ahead, will they be able to fend for themselves? Or will they be like so many modern Americans, dependent on others to do everything for them…..as long as they have the money to pay for it.

Back to Basics: Raising Self-Sufficient Children shows you how to teach your children seven basic skills they’ll need in order to become self-sufficient adults:

• Cooking
• Baking
• Handling Money
• Homemaking
• Gardening
• Woodworking
• Sewing

Based on author and homeschooling parent Barbara Frank’s experience teaching these practical skills to her four children, Back to Basics: Raising Self-Sufficient Children includes directions and suggestions as well as many free online resources to help you teach your children to develop each of these practical skills. If necessary, you can learn these skills right alongside your children.

Developing these skills will prepare your children to face an uncertain future with confidence. As a bonus, it will build their self esteem in an authentic way, through the sense of accomplishment they feel as they become self-sufficient.

Make sure your children become adults who know how to take care of themselves: get Back to Basics: Raising Self-Sufficient Children now!
