135: How We Homeschool Through a Pandemic: Projects & Productivity

There's no one right way to handle these days at home. Sometimes it feels great to tackle a project. Sometimes it feels best to just go with the flow. We're giving you permission to do what you need to do. We also have an honest conversation about self-regulation and screen time and setting boundaries that best support our kids. Listen in as we process where we're each at this week.   Highlights from this episode: -We all handle the stress of these days differently: increased productivity or increased rest or a mix of both!   -It feels like we're getting master class on our kids right now. We should give ourselves credit for how much we're learning and connecting and growing together.   -Deep dive authentically: Use this time to go deeper into your kids' interests. But don't feel the pressure to validate it "academic" measurements.   IG Live Join us on Wednesday at 1pm (CDT) for an Instagram Live! We'll be talking more about some ideas from this episode.
