Episode 33: The Only Child
Homeschooling a single child can be a gift with the ability to customize your child's learning to fit his or her needs. We explore these blessings, but also the challenges families face when their child needs more interaction with other children to enrich their learning and form community. From our own experiences, we offer ideas and fun solutions for this type of homeschooling family.
