Great advice. I home schooled 3 boys over 16 years and these things are truly beneficial.

"Don't take Yourself too Seriously" and "Take the Long View" were my favorites. I am so thankful I was able to homeschool, it has been one of the highlights of my life.

Thank you Constance! I have to regularly remind myself to take my own advice. It’s hard to remember those lessons when you’re in the thick of the weeds of everyday living/learning!
