Shownotes
Have you ever found yourself reminding your kids about the same things over and over again?

Sometimes what looks like a behavior problem is actually a skill that hasn’t been developed yet.
In today’s episode, I’m giving you a sneak peek inside one of Emily Brown’s recent Elevate mindset classes: School and Home Skill Building. Emily walks through five skills she believes kids need to practice in order to become more capable and independent—and five skills moms need to practice in order to create a healthier, more functional homeschool.
And even after more than 20 years of homeschooling, I walked away with practical things I could use in my own home.
