Many homeschool parents have a long-term relationship with self-doubt. "Did I make the right decision?" "Could someone else do this better?" "Am I robbing my kids of something by not sending them to 'regular school'?" What if there's a better way? Not a three-step technique or a shiny, new curriculum but a change in perspective that transforms the way you plan, teach, and homeschool?

All teens need help preparing for the adult world. For parents of an ADHD teen, additional navigation is essential. The average human brain isn’t fully developed until around the age of 25. That’s already seven years into adult life. When you consider the neuro differences between a typical brain and an ADHD brain, your teen may have greater developmental challenges.

Not a lot of new info
It didn’t really have many new ideas in my opinion. It felt like most of what was in the book would’ve naturally been learned by someone with a large family who had been homeschooling. Perhaps the audience was more for if someone who has a large family and had been public schooling decided to switch to home.
