CHM177:How to Stay Present as a Parent When Your Kids Are Away At School All Day
from Christian Moms Cafe (formerly Christian Homeschool Moms)
When your kids transition from being home with you every day to spending most of their time at school, it can shift everything — the rhythms, the conversations, even the way you connect. In this episode, we’re talking about how to stay present as a parent through those changes — how to give your kids the space they need to grow while still staying emotionally close. I’ll share what this looks like in my own home now that my daughter’s in school full-time, and how I’ve learned to navigate that new balance of letting go while staying connected. Whether your kids are in a hybrid program, a co-op, or full-time school, this one’s for every parent learning how to keep those heart connections strong as family life evolves.---//MENTIONED ON THE PODCAST//Why Slowing Down Helps Kids Thrive with Leslie Martino, Episode 173🔔 Announcements: Doors are open for new members at the Christian Women Podcasters Network!Are you a Christian podcaster sharing about faith, family, health, or practical life helps?📢 Get a free listing and more exposure for your podcast!-Sign up at: https://christianwomenpodcasters.com///✍Apply to be on the show: https://www.honeybook.com/widget/demetria_zinga_consulting_244093/cf_id/67d97e103753ac00254305ea🎹Virtual Piano Lessons for Homeschoolers/After-Schoolers (& curious adults, too!): http://www.readandrhythm.com▶️Join me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@momzestlife/—
