Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live

radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on

serious xm triumph 111., welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr. Laura, thanks so much for talking to me.

I just got really nervous, so I have four kids. I have four kids. They're ages 13, 11, 9, and 7 and we homeschool them.

And for the most part, I have been really happy to do that.

You know, it's really challenging sometimes, but for the most part, I'm really happy that we made that decision.

And when we did, so we made that decision and when we did so we made we started homeschooling when my

oldest was four so it's all she's ever known she has always been homeschooled and

we have actually been in the same program and done the same curriculum since then.

So we meet once a week with other homeschool families and you know do the program with them and

we have a really strong community there.

This past year my daughter my 13 year old my oldest she has started asking to go to school

and I'm not really considering her going to real school.

And how does she make her, ma'am, how does she make her argument?

What does she say?

So she primarily wants it for the social aspect.

Yes.

And you know I we do as much social things as we can.

She were heavily involved in sports and then she's got a

solid friend group with her church. So we do as much as we can but as you can imagine with four

kids and one of me, there's only so much we can do.
