Let's start this conversation with three simple words: you're not alone. There are other parents out there, like you, searching for solutions to keep kids excited about learning.

One of my first goals with this blog was to find like-minded parents to help provide inspiring ways to keep my kids' curiosity alive:

Let’s encourage divergent thinking, instead of convergent thinking; innovation instead of standardization.  Grab your child’s interest while it’s hot.  Let your child follow their interest wherever that passion leads, however quickly it leads them, regardless of what other children their age are working on. See the light in your child’s eyes. [Quote Source]

Despite a common goal, as parents, we each take our child's needs into consideration when choosing a schooling route.
