Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution
Kids & Family:Parenting
"Screaming is not going to solve anything, nor will always calling for mom and dad solve things. We want to give them the words, the tools, and the abilities to work through conflict." - Sherri Seligson
Sibling rivalry is common, but how do we as homeschooling parents guide our children to build strong and lasting relationships with each other? Yvette Hampton sits down with Sherri Seligson, homeschool mom, marine biologist, and seasoned curriculum writer, to discuss strategies for nurturing sibling bonds and managing conflicts within the homeschool environment. From the importance of group activities to the role of forgiveness, this episode is a treasure trove of insights for any parent seeking to foster unity and cooperation among siblings. Learn practical tips on tailoring discipline, understanding personality differences, and creating a family culture that honors uniqueness. Whether your children share rooms or interests, Yvette and Sherri cover the challenges and joys of guiding siblings to be each other's keepers beyond the homeschool years.
Come back tomorrow for the rest of this important conversation.
