worker is mom. In many others, perhaps most, it's dad. So today I'm going to give you 10 ideas for how dads can contribute to the team effort.

But keep in mind that these ideas will also apply if those roles are switched.

Welcome to the Simply Charlotte Mason podcast. I'm Sonia Schaefer. These ideas are compiled from

four different sources. They're all Charlotte Mason homeschool dads who lived from the mid-1800s

up to today. Now, what's interesting is that even though these fathers span a range

of almost 200 years, their ideas ring true and relevant across the decades. And what's more,

they're doable. So let's dive in. Number one, show an interest in what the children are learning.
