What's The End Goal of Parenting? with Jennifer Pepito

from Sunshine in my Nest · host Elizabeth Santelmann

It can be easy to think of education as preparation for tests and careers. But what if the bigger goal was fostering creativity and virtue in our children? No matter how you educate your kids, you as the parent are teaching them these things. The things you choose to spend time and money on show them what is most important and valuable. Today, Jennifer and I discuss people from history and what mattered most in their educational process. I hope you walk away with joy and a hope-filled perspective. In your experience, what is the impact does home have on learning?What can parents do to help foster that love for learning? What have you seen heroes of history do that made a difference in their education life? Are there words or phrases we use that work against us as we educate? How can we use heroes from the past to inspire our kids today? You can find Jennifer Pepito's book "⁠⁠⁠⁠The Inspired Homeschool" or find her on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!⁠JOIN US: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Around Our American World⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for family-style learning!!
