Hi Prana Boosters!

I am Tina Louise Balodi, author of the children’s book Ms Alignment The Emotion Fairy™.

Have you ever thought about homeschooling your child? I know I didn’t.

Yet, I have always homeschooled our girls and they are actually turning 14 & 16 and have never attended “traditional” school. Join me today as I share our journey to Homeschooling/Unschooling and discuss many of the options, challenges and experiences we are facing today with Covid-19 and how it's affecting our education system and most importantly our children.

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”

Aristotle The PHILOSOPHER
