Homeschooling your child is an incredibly rewarding experience,

that makes it seem like you're standing still rather than moving forward.
This comprehensive audio course covers nearly every trial and
transition you'll come across as a homeschool parent. It offers practical advice
and solutions from well-trusted professionals with over 40 years of combined
homeschool and unschool experience that will ease your anxiety, help you get the
cooperation you need, and inspire you to make positive changes to improve the
journey for your family.
You will learn how to mitigate the unique challenges of homeschooling
and make informed decisions regarding your child's intellectual, social, and emotional
development within the homeschool environment. Each session is intended to mentor you
to be the engaged and informed parent you want to be regardless of the homeschool method
or style you prefer.
"It was helpful to know that other homeschoolers
have experienced problem behaviors and are able to overcome them. There was a great
deal of useful information. I enjoyed listening to the audio that has a well-presented,
supportive, and friendly format."

with any crisis.

filled with doubt and want to quit homeschooling. Get some realistic advice and simple
tips to recover from homeschool burn-out and prevent a recurrence.

our home schooling schedule. My son is happy, dad doesn't mind, other parents understand,
and I am relieved. Thank you!"
~ Isabelle Hidaka
Session Ten:
Homeschooling Non-Traditional Families
Some families have unusual situations or challenges that may make homeschooling more
complex such as homeschooling step-children, foster children, or an only child. You

needs. In this session, you'll get ideas and solutions to help you.
