Show notes

As promised today's short bite details a few gardening books I think would fit well in a homeschool gardening library. This is by no way a complete and exhaustive list of books, but they are the books that I find myself going back to over and over.

Episode 189: How to Talk About Difficult Topics Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

As homeschoolers, our kids are with us for much of their day and it’s inescapable for them to be exposed to news and events that we are concerned with. We’ve been having many difficult discussions in our house lately about both personal and global events and wanted to take this opportunity to talk about how we can approach tough topics with our kids in a way that is developmentally appropriate to have meaningful conversations.

Be prepared
Developmental age is a good starting place but use your judgment on your child
