Summary
We often see families join Brave Writer or The Homeschool Alliance who get excited about this style of living, but then we struggle to find other like-minded individuals out there in the world.
Even in the homeschooling community, there can be a big disconnect between your theory of education and a friend’s. This may be someone you like personally, but they have a different vision of homeschool and it causes a little bit of conflict.
There are a few types of friends that you’ll want to cultivate in your homeschooling life, and today we want to share principles and stories that will help you do that.

| 1:01.0 | I'm happy to have you with me today. I love today's topic and here's what it is. |
| 1:06.9 | Partnership Home Education. Finding friends for you. You know one of the things about being in Brave Rider and in the |
| 1:17.1 | Home School Alliance is that I've gotten a lot of feedback that you start to get excited about this style of living and then |
| 1:25.9 | you're not sure if you can find each other out there in the world. So many of you struggle with this feeling like I need friends and I want to spend |
| 1:38.8 | time with them and I want them to be supportive of what I'm doing and I want to feel like I can be supportive of them as well. |

| 1:57.2 | education and maybe a friend of yours, whether it's a friend in the |
| 2:00.8 | neighborhood or a friend at your church or a friend that you know in the homeschooling support group community and it's someone you really like inter-personally but she has a different vision of homeschool than you do, and it creates maybe a little bit of conflict. |
| 2:18.0 | So there are a couple of kinds of friends that you want to cultivate in your life and I want to help |
| 2:26.4 | you think about some principles about how to do that. Today I'm just going to tell |
| 2:31.5 | stories and give you some recommendations because this is a topic that's more like a heart to heart between me and you. |
