I periodically get questions about testing. Many moms want to know if I tested my kids and if I think it\u2019s important or not.\nLast week I talked about how math is a tool.\nTesting is also a tool and when used at the right time can be very helpful. However, the opposite is also true. If a child is not a good test taker and/or becomes stressed in the process, you are not going to get an accurate assessment. \nListen in as I talk about my personal experience homeschooling our 8 kids. I'm not a "teacher" or an "expert".\xa0 I am a mom just like you simply sharing from my years of experience and my perspective now, 26 years later. (And just a side note: all of my kids are doing very well adulting and did from an early age!)\nIf you are enjoying my podcast, please share it with your friends!\nLast week's podcast on Math: https://www.durendawilson.com/podcast/episode/b6a9580f/lets-talk-about-math-podcast-278\n(Please check out my latest book, The Four Hour School Day: How You and Your Kids Can Thrive in the Homeschool Life on Amazon,\xa0durendawilson.com,\xa0or your favorite bookseller!)
