Surviving with Kids
We have our hands full surviving with three tenacious, opinionated and energetic boys.
Surviving with Boys – our little boys are just superheroes in disguise.
Three boys and three big personalities
- Eldest Child: The INTJ/ENTJ/ the academic/ high achiever/first-born / the leader
- Middle Child: The ENTP/ the happy-go-luck/ ADHD/the thinker navigator
- Youngest Child: The INFP/the problem-solver/engineer/serious quiet
How do we homeschool three kids with three very different personalities, skill sets and interests? It’s not easy, but we are surviving with our boys through trial and error figuring out how to navigate and adapt to their growing needs to help them become successful adults someday.

- Teaching them responsibility.
- Helping build habits that will make them a good father, spouse and friend.
- That strength doesn’t always have to be physical strength.
