How I Almost Killed My Son's Love of Learning

Podcast Exclusive Episode!

Kids are born with a natural love of learning. Keeping that high over the course of their education can be difficult, especially when we have what Kami calls the “Educational Should” looming over us homeschooling parents (see episode 6 for more on the “Educational Should”). When my son was young, I almost killed my son’s love of learning, resulting in lots of tears, but I brought it back and learned how to keep it high. The result of this long-term passion for learning is incredible!

This is what I teach families how to do in all my homeschool mentoring and what I am passionate about helping you achieve!

At the end of this episode you’ll feel so much more confident that no matter where you’re starting, you can learn the tools to create the homeschool experience you always wanted!

If you’re looking for hope that you can do it and tips on how to reset love of learning, this episode is for you!
