"Our age has become so mechanical that this has also affected our
recreation.
"People have gotten used to sitting down and watching a
movie, a ball game, a television set.
"It may be good once in a while,
but certainly is not good all of the time.
"Our own faculties, our
imagination, our memory, the ability to do things with our mind and our
hands-they need to be exercised.
"If we become too passive, we get
dissatisfied."
"Learning often begins when a child
sits around for a while wishing for something to do. Thus we see the
problem with filling up his time and space with commitments and
diversions."
~From the January 2011 Inspire! Newsletter article, "Love Changes Everything" by Oliver and Rachel DeMille.

The Phases of Learning
"More than just a book to read, it is a book to own and to return to again and again."
-Janiece Sloan
"...[a] practical and detailed
outline! After studying The Phases of Learning, I felt as if I
understood my children more deeply."
-Nanette Baker
Leadership Education helps
explain the stages that everyone needs to go through to fulfill their
mission in life (that includes parents, too!). I love that suggestions
of activities are included so that those just beginning this TJEd
journey can get their feet wet and be mentored along the way. Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!
-Bente Rodriguez
Often cited by the DeMilles as their favorite work to date, this inspirational manual picks up where the primer/overview work, A Thomas Jefferson Education,
leaves off.
It develops in depth not only the philosophy but also the
nuts-and-bolts application of each individual Phase, the critical
Transitions between Phases and the "big-picture" vision to begin with
the end in mind.
Those who master the content in this book leave behind the question, "But how do you actually DO it?"
