The Stay-at-Homeschooling Mom Podcast
Education
Sometimes, situations we might have avoided if given a choice are the greatest blessings. Today's guest has written an inspiring book about a little boy who brings joy to all who know him.
Today's podcast will touch your heart, bring a smile, and open a gift of unexpected proportions. Life-changing inspirations can come wrapped in unexpected ways.
Super J and the Power of Love
Jennifer Nelson is a wife, homeschooling mom of seven children, and the founder of an international prayer ministry for women with pregnancy complications, infertility, and miscarriages. Her joyful spirit is infectious, and her deep faith informs everything she does, and she does a lot! We found her to be such an inspiration, and we know many of you will as well.
The book we're discussing today, Super J and the Power of Love, is her first published work - the first of many, we hope.
Super J is a little guy with Down syndrome. Meeting the real Super J some years ago inspired Jennifer to write the book.
● I love the way you dealt with aborting Downs kids – in a very child-appropriate way,
● Super J's superpower is his heart – his ability to love without conditions.
● The book does not encourage tolerating those who may be different – but celebrating them!
Homeschool Influenced
● Our author, Jennifer, was homeschooled, as was the book's Illustrator, Sam Estrada.
● Jennifer homeschools her children and shares how homeschooling formed her worldview.
● Our hosts share how differently-abled kids are well accepted in homeschool support groups.
Super J and the Power of Love
This book is a perfect gift for parents who may have just gotten a prenatal diagnosis and not just for Down Syndrome.
