What happens when you dream of your newborn being the next “Monson scholar,” only to find out later that he/she has significant learning difficulties? Or, when you’ve imagined the “perfect” homeschool for years (clean and organized house, dinner in the crockpot, excited and cooperative children gathered around an amazing science experiment on the kitchen table) only to find out that reality is nothing like what you pictured? Or, what if Mom’s and Dad’s visions of what “school” should be are radically different? We all desire to help our children reach their fullest potential, but it is important to remember that there is more than one path up the mountain of success. Shawn and Melissa will share 10 years of experience as homeschool parents and discuss the importance of communicating, unifying expectations, being flexible and learning to adjust as needed.
