About this episode
Are you accidentally teaching your children that performance matters more than their hearts? In this eye-opening episode, host Lisa Bailey sits down with homeschool veteran Alicia Clark to explore a counter-cultural truth: the families who put relationships before academics often end up excelling at both. With 11 years of Classical Conversations experience and three children ranging from 9 to 15, Alicia reveals why heart-first homeschooling creates stronger students AND stronger families. You'll discover: -              -  Why the "little years" might actually be the hardest to homeschool (and it's not what you             think) -              -  The surprising truth about what creates teachable children
