Read it when it first came out and keep rereading it. I have only ever lurked here...started reading your blog right before your boys came home when we were waiting to bring our son home from Ethiopia. BUT, had to comment on this one!<BR/>Mom to 6Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05944103012246624644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-32756635032714995892008-10-03T18:34:00.000-06:002008-10-03T18:34:00.000-06:00penny, i so know how you feel. none of my kids ha...penny, i so know how you feel. none of my kids have ever done preschool (much to some peoples' dismay--ah, but that's another blogpost entirely. :) ) as a result, they haven't had too many little friends that i would classify as "close". but my kids adore each other, include their baby sister in most any activity they do, and seem well-adjusted socially. here in denver there are kids we do see more regularly, and i also kinda figure that there will be so much time for building friendships in the years to come.<BR/><BR/>darci, that is too cool! i love hearing/seeing different interesting speakers.<BR/><BR/>oh and just an fyi about the book--it's not written from an overt Christian perspective, but it is excellent, so i hope that doesn't turn anyone off!Brianna Heldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224838737334231065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-21107635275865039942008-10-03T16:13:00.000-06:002008-10-03T16:13:00.000-06:00I heard the author speak two years ago at our home...I heard the author speak two years ago at our homeschooling convention! Awesome! Bought the book and devoured it too. If you ever get the chance to hear him it's worth it. He spoke alot more in depth about styles of learning, too, which was great.darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729565512380024608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-89024099877793298402008-10-02T17:06:00.000-06:002008-10-02T17:06:00.000-06:00Perfect timing to read this today.

Gee, darn, his best friend is his brother! He's my first to not go to pre-school, and I find myself worrying about social issues... I needed this post to remind me why he's not in preschool! My four kids love to play together, and I'm so thankful to have them home with me. It puts more pressure on Ted and me to be the positive role-models they need, but that's where prayer comes in, right? :)<BR/>And like Jacquelyn said, this is a reason for choosing to homeschool. I've got to read this book.<BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-13324875965016762492008-10-02T14:12:00.000-06:002008-10-02T14:12:00.000-06:00another vote for homeschooling!another vote for homeschooling!Jacquelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952038602431921394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-31066074526349102342008-10-02T13:36:00.000-06:002008-10-02T13:36:00.000-06:00I reserved this book yesterday on your recommendat...I reserved this book yesterday on your recommendation.
