Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to follow one method purely?
No. Most families end up hybridizing. The goal is not ideological purity. The goal is a method that works.
How long should we test a method before changing?
Give it enough time to see a real pattern, but not so long that a bad fit becomes a whole wasted year.
