How to Submit an Item
Email your item after you have read the following. Please write 'Kids Pages Submission' in the subject line of your email. Thank you!
- Items must be original and the work of the author.
- Please check your spelling. Read aloud your item to check grammar and flow. We prefer correct spelling and grammar but understand that some children will prefer their stories published unedited. If you wish me to edit your contribution please ask.
- Items that contain offensive material (bad language, graphic sex or violence) will not be accepted.
- You can use a psuedonym (false name) if you like, but we need your real name and email address so that we can check that all submissions are genuine.
- Important! We will reply to your email asking for permission from your parent to allow us to publish the item you have sent. Parents can choose the level of information that is to be displayed in connection with their child's work. We only publish children's first names.
- Send us pictures and photos in .jpg, .gif, .bmp or .png format. We can reformat images in MS Word documents or pdfs.
- Long items may be divided into two or more pages.
- Publication of an item is at Beverley's discretion. It may take a week or two before your item appears on the Kids Pages. You will be sent an email with a link to your item when it is published.
- We prefer to publish items created by homeschooled and unschooled children but are happy to consider items from parents if they relate to homeschooling or education. Parents are welcome to submit items for publication on our parent site, The Educating Parent.
- We do not disclose the information we collect to any third party.
- Submission and inclusion on the Kids Pages automatically includes permission by the parent or guardian of the children submitting items for items to be published in an eNewsletter edition of The Educating Parent.
- If you wish to remove your item from these pages, send us an email with a description of the item and the child's name as well as the url (web address) of the page you found it on. It's important to understand that Google and other search engines keep cached copies of web pages, so even if the item has been removed from this site it may still appear in a Google search for a while.

Beverley Paine with her children, and their home educated children, relaxing at home.
Together with the support of my family, my aim is to help parents educate their children in stress-free, nurturing environments. In addition to building and maintaing this website, I continue to create and manage local and national home educating networks, help to organise conferences and camps, as well as write for, edit and produce newsletters, resource directories and magazines. I am an active supporter of national, state, regional and local home education groups.

you really listen to people." Vanessa

with increased confidence in my ability to provide and
share a wonderful learning journey with my family!" Davina

wisdom changed our lives. We now offer support and

Welcome to the World of Home Education
and Learning without School!
We began educating our children in 1985, when our eldest was five. In truth, we had helped them learn what they need to learn since they were born. I am a passionate advocate of allowing children to learn unhindered by unnecessary stress and competition, meeting developmental needs in ways that suit their individual learning styles and preferences. Ours was a homeschooling, unschooling and natural learning family! There are hundreds of articles on this site to help you build confidence as a home educating family. We hope that your home educating adventure is as satisfying as ours was! Beverley Paine
3 ESSENTIAL STEP BY STEP GUIDES
Let experienced home educators Beverley, Tamara and April walk you through HOW to create a learning plan that builds on solid foundations that works for YOUR family AND ticks all the boxes for home educaton registration!
