In today's episode, Amanda speaks with fellow long-hauler Cristy Stebelton about her unusual journey to homeschooling and how her philosophy towards educating her daughter has changed over the years.  They discuss the importance of encouraging your homeschoolers to become their authentic selves and pursue all their interests and passions, while recognizing that we parents can also grow and change in the process of homeschooling.  This is a fun conversation between two friends who, while coming from much different experiences, are able to find commonality in their outlook towards home education.Resources and LinksLearning Ally (formerly Reading Ally), audiobook solutions for schools and homes, (https://learningally.org/)Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7) by J.K.
