Summary

Welcome to the 4th in my series talking with each of our adult kids! Today I'm chatting with Ben who is our fourth child and second son. Ben is almost 22, works at a Bible camp and is a volunteer firefighter. Even though Ben was 9 before he was reading well, he is one of our most avid readers!  He was given time and space to develop at his own pace and learn in ways that worked for him.  We discuss this, reflect on his unhurried homeschooling experience and hear his perspective as an adult. You'll love this guy's heart!  He is one of the happiest people I know and a joy to be with! Mentioned in the podcast (aff links): The Unhurried Homeschooler Mentoring Course The Unhurried Homeschooler  Unhurried Grace for Mom's Heart
