Kids need to hear you praise them both for effort and for achievement!
Now Im not advocating praise just to praise.
It gives them a sense of being loved, valued, importance, and bonding with you.

People naturally want to yo people they feel close to!
Respect means proper acceptance and courtesy.
It does NOT mean you agree with someone 100%.
This topic is immense and overwhelming!
After all, we all want our kids to be safe!
take advantage of precious teachable moments!
One of the benefits of homeschooling is that you’ve got the option to tailor your curriculum.
If your child has an interest in horses, take the opportunity to study horses!
Teach them how you look things up or take the time to explain things to them.
Not only will this avoid forgetting them, but it will encourage your childs creativity and interests.
Safety Teachable MomentsThe best way to teach about safety is using teachable moments!
You cant be around to shelter/protect them indefinitely.
And many times his questions are faith based.
General Life Teachable MomentsUse day-to-day interactions to teach kids about how to treat others and respond to situations.
Teach them about safety, weather, cooking, etiquette, etc.
Dont let a teachable moment pass you by.
