Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week we are playing an episode from a couple of years ago where we discuss how to encourage your child who is thinking about the future and loving them for who they are, not what they do. It was a great episode and we hope you enjoy it!
Before we start we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for all of their support of the Smiling Homeschooler. They are one of the best math curriculums around, and we believe they help more homeschoolers smile, and you should use their math curriculum for this school year.
