Episode Details

Are you expecting your kids to do things they’ve never actually been taught?

In this powerful clip, Meeke Addison talks with Dr. Kathy Koch about one of the most overlooked needs of children—especially in homeschooling homes. Many parents assume their kids understand what to do… but in reality, kids are often left confused, frustrated, and discouraged.

Dr. Kathy explains why children don’t just need direction—they need instruction. They need to be taught truth, discernment, identity, and even practical skills step by step.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated when your child “should have known better,” this conversation will bring conviction, clarity, and encouragement.

You’ll discover:

• Why “telling” isn’t the same as teaching
• The hidden frustration many kids experience
• How assumptions can damage connection
• The powerful advantage homeschool parents have

This is a must-hear reminder that our kids don’t just need correction—they need discipleship.
