In this month’s blog post, Suzanne shares candidly about how her children’s ADHD diagnosis led to her own.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenges of 2020. It is a miracle that we have been able to meet the needs of as many NSW children as last year, despite the huge difficulties that COVID brought to our families, our staff, and our tutors.

I love real books. I admit it. Reading is not the same on a screen as it is with a book in hand. I like to page back to previous passages. I like to make notes and underline special parts. I like to shove one in my purse and know that it is in there waiting for me. Books have been my friends, my teachers and my adventures. I like the way books feel in my hand, and I always have.

The parents of children who struggle and face developmental challenges are a special group of people. They face difficulties that others can't imagine. These parents are constantly in uncharted territory and usually alone. The knowledge and experience they gain gives them a perspective from which we all can learn. One of my heroes in this special group of parents is Jen Van Horn.

It is easy these days for kids to feel like they are on the road to nowhere. For some, days are bleeding together as we stay at home. A few of our veteran homeschooling NSW moms were kind enough to share some advice while we continue to isolate with our families.
