Managers of Their Chores tackles common questions that parents often struggle with and feel guilty over, giving peace and encouragement:
One chapter is devoted to helping moms work with their preschoolers on chores. For those moms who say they have no idea where to even begin, the book develops various pieces of a chore system and how it can be set up.

MANAGERS OF THEIR SCHOOLS A Practical Guide to Homeschooling, by Steve & Teri Maxwell
Managers of Their Schools is a practical, how-to-homeschool, confidence-building book, written by homeschool parents with thirty years of experience. They can help you sleep peacefully each night knowing that your children are learning and being well-prepared for life. Their five sons are now earning excellent incomes, and the three married sons purchased their homes debt-free. Is that the sort of preparation for life you want for your children?
Steve and Teri, life-long learners themselves, share their research, biblical basis, and what they found to be the most time-efficient, results-producing approaches for their homeschooling family of eight children. You'll feel like you're sitting down with Teri for a time of sweet fellowship as she shares how to streamline your homeschool. Wouldn’t you like to learn from Steve and Teri’s experiences?
"Our homeschool was high-maintenance, high-prep, and greatly demanding of me. I was in a constant state of being overwhelmed and exhausted. A few times I wondered if I could keep homeschooling!! It remained this way for almost 4 years--until a month ago!! I've read and re-read Managers of Their Schools, marking, highlighting, and making notes. We all feel like peace has returned to our home and our relationships, and my children have never been more content in our homeschooling journey!" A now-excited mom
Steve and Teri spent their first twelve years of homeschooling searching for a method that met their Scriptural and educational criteria. They finally began using Christian textbooks. They were thrilled to see that Teri was no longer stressed-out due to the workload required by several previous curriculum approaches, and happily, they have never wanted to change direction again.
Do you want confidence that your child will have a superior education and can do well in life?
In this book, Steve and Teri share the benefits their family has gained from using textbooks. They review other methods and how textbooks favorably compare with them. There is a chapter written by four of their adult children sharing some of their homeschool thoughts, particularly with regard to using Christian textbooks. One of the chapters is directed specifically to dads and another one to moms. The appendix of Managers of Their Schools includes ten of their school schedules, assignment sheets, a listing of the school curricula and resources they use, plus coupon codes for discounts on some of them, and their reading criteria.
Whether or not you choose the same method to home educate as they do, you will find a wealth of tried-and-true, daily-life homeschool information. Make your homeschooling journey easier, more efficient, and more joyful by learning from a family who has already walked the path. If stress can be replaced with peace and productivity why not begin now?

HOMESCHOOLING WITH A MEEK AND QUIET SPIRIT by Teri Maxwell
A desire of a homeschooling mother's heart is to have a meek and quiet spirit instead of discouragement, fear, and anger. She can cope with the myriad of daily difficulties and decisions that a homeschooling lifestyle brings with it, as long as she is having the right responses to them. Let her be fearful, worried, anxious, frustrated, irritated, or angry and a mom soon realizes she is undermining all she wants to accomplish by homeschooling. Because Teri Maxwell, a mother of eight, has walked the homeschooling path since 1985, she knows first-hand the struggle for a meek and quiet spirit. The memories from her early homeschooling years of often being worried and angry rather than having a meek and quiet spirit are not what she would like them to be.
Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit includes Teri sharing the work the Lord has done in her heart through homeschooling. Other homeschooling moms will be encouraged that He can do the same for them. Teri also desires that homeschooling mothers could learn from the lessons the Lord has taught her so that they would begin to have a meek and quiet spirit long before she did.
A desire of a homeschooling mother's heart is to have a meek and quiet spirit instead of discouragement, fear, and anger.

In these pages, Teri offers practical insights into gaining a meek and quiet spirit, along with chapter-by-chapter projects, that any mom can apply to her individual circumstances. She transparently shares the struggles God has brought her through and what He has shown her during these many homeschooling years.
Throughout Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit, the heart issues that will gently lead you to a meek and quiet spirit are discovered. The reader is encouraged to join Teri as they seek the Lord to homeschool with a meek and quiet spirit! For only $1.50, you can also purchase the Study Guide.

KEEPING OUR CHILDREN'S HEARTS Our Vital Priority, by Steve & Teri Maxwell
Parenting is no easy task and takes courage. Steve and Teri will gently guide you down a biblical path to raising your children who won’t rebel.
Written for parents of young children to teenagers, this book shares the joys and outcomes of our vital priority--keeping our children's hearts. Rebellion and immorality are common among teens even within the Christian community. Does Scripture offer any path of hope for more than this for our children? What can parents do to direct their children toward godliness rather than worldliness? When does this process begin? What is the cost?
The most complete and most balanced book I have read on how to raise children who won't rebel! Dr. S. M. Davis
Steve and Teri Maxwell believe the key factors in raising children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4) are whether or not the parents have their children's hearts and what they are doing with those hearts. Having raised eight children to adulthood without rebellion, they have experience. Keeping Our Children's Hearts offers hope, direction and encouragement on this critically important topic.
Included in this book is a chapter co-authored by all the adult Maxwell children concerning their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and outcomes of growing up in a home where their parents kept their hearts.
