Meeting emotional needs (and beyond) {Episode 68}
In this episode, Cait + Kara address a common question they get from parents – how to meet their children’s emotional needs, and how to deal with issues like anxiety and more while homeschooling.
With plenty of candor, the sisters are their own experiences with this issue and how they’ve navigated rough patches (and beyond) with their own children.
