LIVE Chat 10/12/22: When your kids don't want to do school

by Rebecca Spooner on October 13, 2022

I've seen a lot of posts about kids who just aren't that into school. Parents spend hours, days, weeks trying to find the right curriculum, the right decorations, teach with the right inflection and enthusiasm, only to have their kids pretty much scorn their feeble attempts. Parents go to bed feeling dejected, like they just aren't cut out for this. If this is you, we need to talk.
