Listen to School Days HERE
Today we’re checking in to see how the new school year is going. The beginning of the school year can be difficult no matter which way you choose to go with your kids. We are at totally different places in our schooling years. And you, our listeners, may be in a place completely different than we are. Our reason for doing this episode is no matter what way your family chooses to educate your kids, it is hard. It is hard to send them to school. It is hard to keep them home. And when you’re done and they grow up, that’s hard too. The take away is to enjoy the ride and give yourself grace!
