EP94: As homeschooling parents, we're all trying so hard to get it right. We care deeply about our children and we don’t want to mess this up. It’s a big responsibility to homeschool. And we all take this job VERY seriously.

We also have so many doubts. And wonder if we can do it. If we know enough, or are good enough. We sometimes even wonder if our kids would be better off learning from someone else. 

But in the midst of all that swirl of questioning and self-doubt, we forget about ourselves. We even sometimes forget who we are, who we were before kids. Before this big undertaking of teaching our children at home.

We're on a journey of unfolding and self-discovery, too. It’s not just all about the kids. So listen in to this episode all about your journey as a homeschooler and how you can find your self again.

EP92: The common advice to parents about answering children’s questions is to respond in an elaborate yet easy to understand way. But in this episode, you’ll hear about why I disagree with this common advice. And what I suggest instead.

Kids always have questions. Sometimes a boatload of questions! Children’s questions can be funny, insightful, and at times wildly surprising. But when we answer right away, or give them tons of facts and information, we often rob them of their curiosity and wonder. Instead, let's give them some time and space to get curious.

Here’s to nurturing awe and wonder in our children and ourselves.
