EP78: Conflict is never an easy subject. Arguing and bickering can really wear us down and sometimes we wish it would just go away. We’d rather not deal with it.

Other times, we fall into the trap of thinking that if we’re perfect parents or homeschoolers, conflict will never happen.

But what can really help is to develop a few practical ways of responding to conflict that we can come back to again and again in our family.

That's what you'll here in this episode where Jean shares 8 strategies to use to help you resolve conflict in your family quickly. So that it doesn’t keep wearing you down.

EP76: In many hands-on homeschooling approaches, stories form the foundation of the lessons. Stories help connect us, person to person, and also draw us in so that we are receptive to hearing their messages. 

Stories themselves can be teachers of values, character development, and even history. And, stories can also serve as a jumping off point for teaching skills. 

So have a listen to this episode – which I hope gives you a sense of freedom in embracing stories as the true teachers that they are! 

And if you want more help weaving in the skills development, come join the Inspired at Home membership where we have a great masterclass all about Skills Development for Homeschooling through the grades.

EP73: Let’s be real, parenting and homeschooling can challenge us to our core. But with mindfulness and inner work practices that help us get quiet for a moment and tune into what’s most important, we can accept our circumstances and release resistance and resentment. And that allows us to be more present from one moment to the next.

So today my friend, I invite you to Be Like the Lotus Flower - Untouched by the Mud!

EP71: Homeschooling is really about two things.

Mindset and action.

We tend to put all our focus on the action piece of this equation - curriculum, lesson plans, what activities we'll do tomorrow...

But there's so much more to it (we begin to realize as time goes on).

How we think and feel about ourselves, our children, our progress - those all profoundly affect any action we're taking.

Listen in as Jean shares three simple practices for self-acceptance that you can put into action today.
