| "Thank you... The information you supply is real and generous - fantastic reading. I am so inspired... Your honesty is rare. Most books do not really explain 'how' as well as you do." Tracy "I cannot seem to get enough of your writings on the whole home ed subject! You portray a lot of wisdom, knowledge and experience..." Marie "A fabulous source of information and inspiration. I am very pleased to have some of your titles on my bookshelf... providing me with wonderful, detailed information and resources." Faye |

Let's Get Healthy Esther Marshall This article was inspired by a recent discussion on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/home-education-sa about food intolerances. I believe that by removing or greatly reducing all stresses from our and our children's bodies we can tolerate all kinds of foods much better. We are having reactions because our poor bodies are having to work overtime to battle things like:
Combine this with mental and emotional stresses, not enough sleep, irregular sleep and eating patterns, and our bodies are really fighting uphill. We actually don't exercise enough because we don't have the energy - we don't have the energy because our bodies are working too hard within. We need to go back to our basic requirements in life - good food, lots of water, shelter (adequate warmth or coolness), love, rest and simple satisfaction of small achievements. Nurture ourselves. Eliminate or reduce the stresses as much as possible and we can tolerate natural foods again, and enjoy feeling energetic with a sense of inner peace. Gee, I sound like a real hippie! Our children are worse because we have an accumulation of these things within us, then we pass it on to them, then their bodies are bombarded with twice as much as we had as children. I feel like I'm stating the obvious, we all know this, but sometimes we get caught up in the world of consumerism and ambition (it's human nature), and forget the simple things in life. We're smart enough to figure out what's best for our children's education. Let's be smart about our lifestyle and reap the benefits. |

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 Getting Started with Homeschooling in 1995-97 and since then continues to write books and booklets on home education. She balances spending time helping home educators with working in her garden and renovating her home, as well as continuing to build her collection of writing on a variety of homeschooling subjects. Beverley maintains an extensive collection of websites as well as several Yahoo groups supporting families teaching their children at home.
In 2007 Beverley joined the HEA and became a committee member in 2008: she also edits and produce the HEA Newsletter, HEA magazine, Stepping Stones for Home Educators, annual Resource Directory and other HEA publications.
