We brought our son home from public education in 4th grade, as a completely distressed child, the lie that he is stupid buried so deep in his little heart and mind. We’ve been in what feels like an uphill battle to rebuild his heart, sense of...”Read full review »

“Really practical advice, reassuring words and interesting facts to back it all up. Not to mention the input from other homeschoolers around the world.
