b'Today is another special solocast episode I\\u2019ll be doing focusing on homeschooling. The first episode focused on how we came to the decision to homeschool, because I was very much a reluctant homeschooler. For today\\u2019s episode, I\\u2019m focusing on the actual transition to homeschool and that very first year\\u2014essentially, how I got through it. Because it was not an easy transition, and there were many times when I wanted to throw in the towel. I\\u2019ll talk with you about what the biggest challenges were for me and Asher and share with you the strategies I used to push through the really hard stuff and get us to a much better place by the end of that first year.\\n\\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.
