Are you unintentionally frustrating your child during homeschool?
In this powerful clip, Meeke Addison talks with Dr. Kathy Koch about one of the biggest mistakes parents make in education—and how to fix it.
What if your child isn’t struggling because they’re lazy or disobedient… but because they’re wired differently?

If you’ve ever felt frustrated—or seen frustration in your child—this is a must-watch.

When we teach our kids according to how God made them, everything changes.

Are we really listening… or just waiting for our turn to talk?
In this powerful clip, Meeke Addison sits down with Dr. Kathy Koch to unpack a subtle but damaging habit—selfish listening—and how it impacts our children’s relationships, character, and future.
If your child struggles with friendships, feels left out, or dominates conversations, this may be the root issue. Dr. Kathy shares practical, biblical wisdom on how to identify this pattern and lovingly correct it—without shaming, but with clarity and truth.
You’ll learn how to:
• Recognize selfish listening in your child (and yourself)
• Address it with both love and authority
• Teach your kids how to engage in meaningful conversations
• Model Christ-centered, others-focused communication
This is a must-watch for parents who want to raise children who are kind, attentive, and deeply connected to others.

Do you feel like you have to “have it all together” to be a good parent? What if that pressure is actually hurting your kids?
In this powerful conversation, Meeke Addison and Dr. Kathy Koch unpack how fear of failure shows up in parenting—and how it quietly shapes our children. You’ll discover why admitting your weaknesses can actually build confidence in your kids, how to empower them by letting them contribute (even imperfectly), and why raising others-centered children matters more than raising “perfect” ones.
From letting kids take ownership of family traditions to modeling humility and generosity, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to parent with freedom, purpose, and grace.
If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, perfectionism, or feeling like you’re not enough—this is for you.

Are you doing all the “right” things as a parent… but still missing what your child truly needs?
In this powerful clip, Meeke Addison talks with Dr. Kathy Koch about the deeper needs of children that often go unnoticed—especially in Christian and homeschool families.
From security and identity to belonging and connection, today’s kids are facing a very different culture than we grew up in. And if we’re not intentional, we can easily fall into “checklist parenting” while overlooking what matters most.
This conversation is a wake-up call for parents who want to raise children who are not just educated—but grounded, secure, and strong in the Lord.
You’ll be challenged to:
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I really meeting my child’s deepest needs?”—this is for you.

Are you expecting your child to think, learn, and succeed just like you?
In this powerful clip, Meeke Addison and Dr. Kathy Koch unpack a subtle but common parenting struggle—wanting our children to reflect us instead of the image of God within them.
As Meeke reflects on her homeschool journey and launching her oldest daughter, she shares a humbling realization: God didn’t design her child to be like her… and that truth changed everything.
Dr. Kathy Koch explains what it truly means for our kids to be made in the image of God—and how we can intentionally call that out, nurture it, and celebrate it in everyday moments.

Don’t overspend on curriculum that doesn’t fit! This helpful clip from the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast is full of money-saving wisdom from Aby Rinella and Yvette Hampton.
Try samples first, stick with what works (and stop chasing shiny objects), reuse across kids, buy once for multi-age learning, print consumables with an EcoTank printer, use sheet protectors for reusable worksheets, piece together from the library/public domain (LibriVox), and explore free resources like Easy Peasy All-in-One and Ambleside Online. Get creative with household items (dried beans!) and barter skills.
These strategies save money, reduce stress, and help you focus on discipleship over perfection.
