On today's podcast, Girlfriends Chat, we dig deeper around the subject of Tara homeschooling a very very challenging son, how she deals with it daily, her convictions to stay in the 'game' of homeschooling inspite of her challenges, and what she has learned as a result of her challenge with her son.
