Ep. 46 Teaching Our Children - Educationally

08/06/2016

School may be over at graduation, but that does not mean waking up in a cold sweat from a nightmare of waking up late for a big test is. Have we mentioned TJ really needs some help?

But neither TJ or Wesley have kids of school age yet, so they brought in Chris Woodward. Chris made the decision to place his children in a private school, but they weighed the options of public, Christian, homeschool, and several others.

Chris and his family made their decision for personal reasons. But one thing all three agree on is that the ultimate responsibility for teaching kids sits on the shoulders of parents. Chris talks about the difference dynamics between a classroom where there is one teacher with twenty students versus home where there are far fewer children and parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and siblings who can help the kids learn.

Chris gives some practical tips on how to help your child learn and some key ideas to be careful of in this journey. He pulls from several of his articles on Engage and on One Million Dads.
