Expectations Vs Reality

What did you believe your home education experience would look like? What were you fearful of? What did you think would be hard? What did you think would be easy? And what has the reality been? These are some of the questions we ask ourselves in this episode, getting into the real talk of what our home education experience has been and what can happen if we hold too much stock on outcomes both for ourselves and our children.
