Personality type is especially great for homeschoolers because it helps you understand how your homeschool child best learns. It’s great for unschoolers because unschooling parents understand that true learning comes from intrinsic motivation and they want their kids to build a life that really honors their individuality instead of trying to fit them into the traditional school box. It’s great for stay home moms and dads and working moms and dads alike. The show also helps you in your adult relationships, whether it’s your marriage you’re looking to improve or the relationship with your co-parent.
