Sibling Stuff (Because We’re Together ALL the Time){Episode 73}
The sibling relationship is unique, especially when we’re young and all living together in the same home.
Add homeschooling to that, and it’s really vital to have some sibling strategies.
Cait + Kara have called in sibling expert Lynna Sutherland of Homeschooling Without Training Wheels for this episode. Lynna is a mom to 8 and host of the new podcast Sibling Relationship Lab. She also offers sibling courses, devotionals and more through her site.
Tune in to learn how to see our kids as people, get to the bottom of sibling strife, and raise our kids to want to see each other again every year at Christmas.
