Too much data: Focus on answering your research questions. Discard irrelevant information.
Overlapping themes: Refine and merge similar themes without losing meaning.
Subjectivity: Use peer review and reflexivity (acknowledge your biases) to stay objective. For instance, if two themes, "Community Support" and "Parental Involvement," overlap, consider merging them into a broader theme like "Stakeholder Collaboration."
