It was so frustrating!

I wanted to give my child the world, but I was failing.

This adorable third grader had read everything that the children’s library had on human anatomy--five or more times. I had purchased every book, doll, game, and model that I could find. I had purchased multiple anatomy curricula. But there was this huge gap between ‘cute’ elementary school science and real high school science, and I couldn’t find anything that would fit my child at this in-between stage.

I worried that I was failing my child.

I wanted to fan the flames of interest that burned behind those big blue eyes.

Beyond the science, I wanted my daughter to develop healthy habits. It wasn’t enough for her to be educated. I've seen kids with a good education still develop nightmarish habits that resulted in heartbreaking stories of rotten teeth, anorexia, depression, and worse…you get the idea.

I knew from those experiences that learning how the human body works, and what it needs to be healthy, was going to be essential to my child’s success in life.

Imagine my joy when I found Dr. Robin!

Now, I felt like I was giving my daughter the world! In every lesson Dr. Robin Dickinson was teaching:

• Scientific Terminology
• Scientific Concepts
• Critical thinking in the world of science

But guess what else she was teaching? By focusing on the wonders of the human body and the miracle of how it all works, she was teaching my daughter:

• To eat healthy
• To avoid sugar
• To brush her teeth
• To sleep at night
• To exercise during the day
• To protect her skin from sunburn
• To cope with stress
• And even how to set boundaries in regards to physical contact- how to say NO!

By now I had happily paid $20 for each live class. I was on cloud nine, because we finally had a way for my child to learn science AND health.

When our favorite physician/teacher created the full Dr. Robin's School curriculum, we were thrilled to have an entire year of daily lessons available to us! But we also knew the value of those live interactions.

Why offer a Coloring Book Club?

Fast forward to the fall of 2023 when Dr. Robin announced that she would be offering LIVE coloring book classes for ANYONE in Dr. Robin’s School.

• Students can jump in at any point, making this class flexible.
• You don’t have to prepare for this class.
• There is no homework.
• It’s a fun, non-intimidating place to start if you are new to anatomy.
• If the student is studying another topic in science, but you want them to develop healthy habits, you can just add this one weekly class.

I was thrilled. Coloring Book Club would continue to inspire my daughter to care for her body while learning science from an expert. Where else could I find this opportunity for her?

It’s been a couple of years. Now my daughter has been through the Coloring Book Club course at least three times. I have the completed coloring books to prove it. When I clean out our homeschool room, my daughter vehemently defends her old anatomy coloring books with sobs and tears, so you can still find them on the shelf.

After all that, would you believe she is excited about taking the Coloring Book Club class again? Yes, she loves Coloring Book Club, not just because she loves anatomy, but because a live class with Dr. Robin is something special. And we are both extra excited this year, because…

We have a NEW coloring book!

My daughter is in middle school now, so it can be hard to fit classes in. Between piano lessons, ballet practice, book club, and Latin tests, my daughter stays busy. But when I sit down to create our schedule for the next school year, I always know that the first thing I have to put down….the activity that all other activities are scheduled around…is class with Dr. Robin!

Maybe your child is not as crazy about human anatomy as this child of mine, but I bet that you are just as passionate about giving your child the best future that you can! That means that we are both determined to give our kids the best education possible, while seeing to it that they are developing into healthy individuals. Which is harder: a great education or healthy habits of mind and body? It depends on the day. Thankfully, I have a silver bullet for improving both:
