Your child needs you to reach higher levels of thinking than they can on their own. In this episode, I'm going to give you the exact questions to ask in order to get them there.

For Season 4, I’m bringing together top homesteading and homeschooling thought leaders to show how to weave homeschooling into the homesteading lifestyle. As a homesteading and homeschooling mom myself, the #1 aspect that keeps coming up (tell me if you agree)… is that there is not enough time to do it all. And you know that the solution is to combine homeschooling into your homesteading activities, but it can be hard to pinpoint how to do this effectively. I mean, a simpler lifestyle doesn’t always mean that things are faster or easier… That’s why you are going to hear from multiple perspectives this season around a whole host of topics that weave together homeschooling and homesteading. Today, we’ll be kicking things off with experiential learning, and then you’ll hear about topics such as: how to teach children off grid, holistic health and nutrition, farm fitness, age appropriate chore delegation, of course what children learn from chicken keeping, and even MORE.
