Character Over Curriculum: What Really Matters in Homeschooling - Dr. Kathy Koch
Description
Are academics taking center stage in your homeschool… while character gets pushed aside?
In this powerful clip, Meeke Addison talks with Dr. Kathy Koch about one of the most important—and often neglected—aspects of Christian parenting: shaping who our children become, not just what they know.
Yes, reading, writing, and math matter. But Dr. Kathy reminds us that character and identity must come first. In a culture that’s constantly attacking truth and identity, our kids need more than knowledge—they need a strong foundation rooted in Christ.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “just get through the lesson,” this conversation will challenge and encourage you to refocus on what truly matters.
✨ You’ll be encouraged to:
- Prioritize character over curriculum
- Disciple your children intentionally
- Model the values you want to see in your kids
- Raise children who know who they are in Christ
