Enlightening. Covers everything from learning styles to personality differences to legal stuff about homeschooling, but in a very easy-to-read way. Tons of useful, practical suggestions.

Good solid advice for all homeschoolers- some gems to remember:
- expect the lows if you’re going to have highs
- when frustrated, pause and look deeply at each chil
- it is not microwave education, slow and steady
- there are no money back guarentees! Just be faithful.
- If you focus on your failures, you fall. Focus on Him!
-Dinner names homeschooling an idol!

Felt a bit simplistic and really mostly for parents with children with minor disabilities. The author was an adoptive mom but I didn’t line up with her thinking in a few areas. I suppose it had helpful principles but felt outdated at this point.
