RLL #212: The Power of Connecting with Your Kids in Homeschooling

Today we're diving into a favorite topic - connecting with your kids. We talk about the vital role that building a strong relationship with your child plays in creating a successful homeschooling experience. Remember that academics can always be remediated, but damaged relationships and self-esteem can have long-lasting effects on our children's learning. We explore why many of us chose to homeschool in the first place - the desire to provide a safe and supportive environment for our children, and discuss the importance of being our children's person, their safe place to land, and how connecting with them on a deep level lays the foundation for trust and open communication. In this episode, we highlights the significance of identifying triggers and helping our children navigate anxiety and stress.  Raising Lifelong Learners is brought to you by CTCMath.
