Sisters! Thank you so much for this episode! I am just finishing my first year homeschooling my 8 and 6 year old boys. My oldest has apraxia and sensory processing disorder. Shawna so eloquently said all the thoughts and feelings that have driven me to where I am today. Everything; boosting self esteem, teaching your child through their strengths, and the benefits of a home school environment speaks to me. I don’t care that her ideas are not research based! Take the road less traveled that WORKS! Thanks again ladies, you keep me thinking and motivated!
