Summary

I often have moms reaching out to me to ask me about math.  Maybe their child hates it and they're struggling to help them. They can't seem to find an approach that works or they hated math as a student or weren’t good at it and aren't sure how they're going to teach their kids. If you can relate, please know you are not alone: Put simply, math is the bane of many a home-school mom’s existence. Today, I'm going to share with you my personal experience homeschooling our 8 kids. I'm not a math professional or a teacher, just a regular mom sharing from my perspective now, 26 years and 7 graduates later! I know you'll be encouraged! If you know other moms who might enjoy this podcast, please share it with other moms!
