How I Managed Anger As A Homeschool Parent With Peggy Ployhar

Today I’m interviewing Peggy Ployhar, and she’s sharing how she dealt with anger in her journey as a homeschooling parent. Peggy emphasizes the importance of taking time for self-care and finding ways to reset as a mom. She tells us about the founding of SPED Homeschool and the resources it provides for homeschooling children with special needs. We’re highlighting the challenges and rewards of homeschooling and the importance of relying on God’s guidance throughout the journey.
