Linda Gilden is a teacher at heart. But in all the years she was teaching kindergarten, she never realized that job would prepare her for more years as a teacher, this time as a homeschooling grandmother. For years she has supported her homeschooling family and has been available to step in as a substitute whenever or wherever needed. Linda is the author of the new LINKED Quick Guides for Personalities series and believes that personality study is the key to building better relationships not only with your homeschool students but with your extended families as well. Linda’s favorite activity is traveling with her homeschooling extended family where just about everything becomes a valuable life lesson. www.lindagilden.com
