I was going to say much the same thing you said, Grin.
I think any combo of parent and kid could potentially be challenging if you aren't aware of where you might run into trouble. But if you know the child's personality and your own, then you can make yourself aware of the potential problem areas and you can keep your own reactions in check as needed.
Knowing that "on task" and "learning" can be two different things for a given child makes it a whole lot easier to adapt as a homeschool parent. Trust me, even the most "J" kid in the world is not always going to stay focused! I speak from experience!
I guess what I'm saying is that you shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater because of the J/P issue. Know thyself and know thy child, and then you can be mindful of the discrepencies between you and adjust as needed.
