Episode 429 - Knowing When to Push and When to Back Off

Welcome back to the Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week we're talking about knowing when to push our kids and when to back off. As homeschool parents, we all have things we believe are important for our children to learn, but what do we do when they don't enjoy them, don't want to do them, or flat-out tell us they hate school?

From math and history to music and Bible time, we'll walk through some real-life scenarios and talk about how to know which battles are worth fighting and when it might be time to change things up. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

We want to thank Teaching Textbooks for supporting the Smiling Homeschooler. We truly think they are one of the best math curriculums out there, and if you don't already use them, you should! Check out a free trial at teachingtextbooks.com.

As Todd likes to say, "We use, love, and recommend Samaritan Ministries. You can learn more about REDEEM HealthShare at SamaritanMinistries.org/familyman.
