In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Your real teaching budget: about 2 to 3 hours a day — total, not per kid
• How much of your time littles, elementary kids, and teens actually need
• Why everyone in the family needs a printed schedule with margin built in
• Multi-level homeschooling: which subjects to teach together and which to keep separate
• The interruption rule (“blood, fire, or flood”) and how to teach kids to wait
• Three boundaries that protect your homeschool: your phone, your personal space, and your core school hours
• Why chores are part of school — and how to anchor them to meals
• Building capable kids with “I do, we do, you do” and the parental involvement index
