Need a little reminder to say what you really mean
Need a little reminder to say what you really mean (without judgment and blame) and hear each other properly too? Same here.

Sometimes we all need a little refresher.
I want my kids to feel heard, to really listen to others, and to say what they feel and need. These are important life and relationship skills!

For the next 4 weeks inside my homeschool subscription, we’re focusing on respectful communication. One small idea each week to help you and your kids practice saying what you feel, listening like you mean it, fixing messes kindly, and handling arguments without name calling and other not-so-fun things!

A little family goal to get comfortable talking honestly, listening well, and remembering we’re all on the same team.

You’ll still get your usual dose of fun, messy, real-life learning too: art, science, big questions, all of it.
