As my kids have entered the high school years, I have moved into the role of high school guidance counselor, mainly keeping track of their transcripts and offering courses from several different sources for them to choose from. Instead of strewing materials, hoping something will catch their interests, I rely on the kids to tell me what books and supplies they need. We’ve spent the last five years learning how we learn best, and all of that knowledge is now proving to be fruitful. I imagine I will need to make fewer and fewer suggestions and course offerings as they begin to tell me what’s next.

Thanks for sharing Kat! I can relate.
