Lighting Their Way
A Guide for First-Time Homeschoolers
A New Book by Celeste Huntsman Smith
You Feel Called to Homeschool—This Is Where to Begin
Starting homeschooling can feel overwhelming. Questions about curriculum, socialization, and whether you’re “doing it right” can cloud what began as a hopeful nudge.
Lighting Their Way was written for parents standing at the beginning of the homeschool journey—those who want to move forward with confidence, clarity, and peace.
Rather than starting with curriculum lists and rigid formulas, this book gently shifts the focus to what truly makes homeschooling successful: strong foundations, healthy relationships, clear purpose, and trust in your role as a parent.
Inside This Book, You'll Discover:
How to approach homeschooling as a lifestyle—not just school at home
Why foundations matter more than finding the “perfect” curriculum
How to identify your homeschool philosophy and values
How to reduce overwhelm and build confidence from the start
Encouragement for parents who feel the nudge but doubt themselves
This guide is ideal for families homeschooling infants through elementary-aged children, and especially for those just beginning or considering making the transition.
