28. Preparing Your Kids for the Tough Work of Learning

Let's face it, deep thinking and learning is HARD! But, wait, you say love of learning determines homeschool success! Yup, I do! It's both! BUT, how much hard work is a balance and depends on several factors. As parents, we know learning is hard and we tend to push our kids too early into the tough stuff, which lowers love of learning and lessens deep education and lifelong learning. Learn when is a good time for hard work and how to prepare them for it so they'll be hungry students! At the end of this episode, you’ll understand what the real message our kids should know about the hard work of learning. If you want to help your kids to WANT to do the hard work of learning, this episode is for you! *Article discussed in this episode: “Invitation to the Pain of Learning” by Mortimer J.
