Wonderful Gifts© Beverley Paine, 2004 Tune into to children's interests and buy them books to suit. I don't like pushing books on children, but I get a huge buzz whenever I buy a book as a special treat and the child's face lights up with appreciation and joy. My daughter loves reading trilogies and collecting books by certain authors. I keep an eye of the books stocking her personal library shelves and love to surprise her with the next book, or a book by a new author. My eldest son was always overjoyed to get the latest LEGO catalogue. These are stored in year old in a special folder. It doesn't matter if the book is the latest TV Guide, a comic book, bike magazine or hardcover picture book, giving books spontaneously develops a love for reading that will last a life time. Many people use books as a reward for achievement or cooperation, but I prefer to give books as gifts to simply say "thank you for being in my life" or "I love you". |

Pioneering members of the home education movement in Australia, Beverley and Robin Paine are passionate advocates of true educational choice for families. They began homeschooling their children in 1986 and three years later started the South Australian Home Based Learners network. Beverley wrote several books and booklets on home education through her self-publishing business, Always Learning Books. Beverley retired from actively supporting home education in July 2008 to allow her to spend time on her garden and writing projects. She maintains an extensive collection of websites as well as several Yahoo groups supporting families teaching their children at home. Beverley continues to support the Home Education Association of Australia as a committee member. Beverley's books will remain available through her websites. Gradually all of her books will be converted to E-books as she makes the transition to a 'paperless office'.
