It can be scary to go out into the world as a young adult. But it’s twice as hard if you’re the anxious type.
Are any of your kids worrywarts? How do you help your kids handle nervous feelings or worries? Leave your answer as a comment on this post by Friday, March 26, and you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing for a hardback copy of How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie.
Carnegie was the best-selling author of last week’s giveaway book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. In How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, he uses the true stories of people of the past, including presidents Abraham Lincoln and Dwight D. Eisenhower, to teach readers how to get out of the habit of worrying. Originally published in 1944, this book is still in print.
Stay tuned for more giveaways!
Quite a few copies of Kindergarten Stories and Morning Talks sold over the weekend (thank you, everyone!). We’re also so happy to be part of this week’s Classical Homeschooling Carnival.

That’s right, the winner of Giveaway #1, chosen by the handy dandy Random Number Picker, is reader Anna, who wins the hardcover copy of Life on the Edge by Dr. James Dobson. Congratulations, Anna!

By the way, the March newsletter is now up. It answers questions such as
Why is it so important that 21st century kids know how to handle money?
Where can you find a downloadable dollhouse (with furniture) printable project?
How do you make Resurrection Eggs in preparation for celebrating Easter?
You’ll find the answers to these questions plus much more in the March issue of “The Imperfect Homeschooler.” See it here, and sign up to get your own copy by email each month here.
I think homeschoolers have proven that the lack of socialization myth is just that: a myth. But the fact is that everyone, homeschooled or not, will meet all sorts of people during the course of their lives, and sometimes they’ll have questions about how to deal with them.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie has been in print since it was first published in 1936 because Carnegie was so good at explaining how to get along with people. This particular copy is a vintage copy, but I don’t know the exact year it was printed: inside it says “Copyright 1936, 85th printing.”
This is one of the books on the Recommended Reading List of my book Life Prep for Homeschooled Teenagers. As I said in that book:
This book is especially valuable for homeschooled students, because they will be heading out into a world where they may face some negative experiences and people that they missed out on by not attending public school.
What do you think about homeschoolers and socialization? Leave your answer as a comment on this post by Friday, March 19, and you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing for this hardback copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People.
