The Brainy Bunch: The Harding Family`s Method to College Ready by Age Twelve, Harding Kip, Harding Mona Lisa

Having six out of ten kids go to college is no small feat on its own, but having six kids in college before their teens--thats nothing short of incredible. Never judgmental and not without humor, this fascinating read (Library Journal) is Kip and Mona Lisa Hardings story of producing exactly those extraordinary results. Kip and Mona Lisa are parents to an engineer (who earned her BS in mathematics at seventeen), an architect (who became the youngest member of the American Institute of Architects), a Navy physician (who earned her biology degree at seventeen), an entrepreneur (who earned an MS in computer science at seventeen), a sixteen-year-old college senior studying music theory and performance, a thirteen-year-old Middle Ages scholar with the highest average in his college class, and four others who are following fast in their siblings footsteps No wonder the family is so used to being asked: How did you do it?

In an impressive (Publishers Weekly), down-to-earth narrative, Kip and Mona Lisa reveal with warmth and humility the strategies behind their familys amazing educational accomplishments. Filled with daily regimens, advice for providing children with fulfilling experiences that go beyond the home, and tips for making the transition to college, theirs is an inspirational real-life success story that anyone can achieve--whether you homeschool your children or not.
