Summary
Today we’re going to talk to a brave mother who wants to support her children’s dreams, is inspired by everything she’s learned about on Brave Writer... but feels stumped. She wants her family to be immersed in a culture of learning, without always being in “school mode,” but she’s struggling to figure out how.
That brave mother is Christa Gregg, a homeschool mother of three children with a Master’s degree in social work and a background in counseling.
