Published: Jan. 31, 2017, 9:12 a.m.

This episode is the first of several solocasts I\u2019ll be doing focusing on homeschooling\u2014not so much the nuts and bolts of it, although I will eventually share some strategies\u2014but more the emotional side of what it was like to make the decision to homeschool. Because, as I\u2019ve said in previous episodes, I was very much a \u2018reluctant homeschooler.\u2019 In this episode, I\u2019m going to tell you exactly why that was, why I was so convinced that there was no way I could possibly homeschool Asher, and tell you how I got to a place where my thinking shifted and I was open to giving it a go.\n\xa0\nDebbie Reber, MA, is a parenting activist, New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and speaker who moved her career in a more personal direction in 2016 when she founded TiLT Parenting, a top resource for parents like her who are raising differently wired children.
