For us, the Scriptures is our number one. They hold so much truth and
are a great handbook for parenting and helping your child received their
education. We use the Book of Mormon in conjunction with the Bible, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. They all compliment and support each other and gives our family a strong foundation in Christ.
Second to the scriptures is the Thomas Jefferson education series and all they offer through webinars,
seminars and their website. The "method" is based off of the natural
phases of learning that occurs when we allow our children to progress at
their own pace, rather than trying to keep them up with what everyone
else says they should be doing. Based off of the way our Founding
Fathers received their education. It's all about "Inspire, not Require"
It is a method that can be used with any "curriculum" you might be
using, because it's focus is more of helping you create a family
lifestyle or culture that focuses on creating Leaders. Helping your
family members identify and then pursue their life mission and purpose.

Third
is a book called The Child Whisperer. It's focus is about learning who
your children are naturally instead of what circumstances might program
them to be, and then supporting them in that. It makes such a huge
difference having such an in depth look into how my children think, why
they choose things they do, how they connect to their world around them
and how to support what I might deem as a weakness as their strength.
It has been very profound in our relationship as a family. Here is a
link to it -http://thechildwhisperer.com/
