On today’s episode we are speaking to Brooke Romney, writer, speaker, educator, and mom of 4 boys. We discuss a powerful letter that she wrote to her kids and how she drew inspiration for it. Each new school year, Brooke writes a letter to her boys in order to help encourage them, helping them to push their learning, creativity, and take advantage of improving their minds.

Many kids are embarrassed to ask for help, but this is a good opportunity to let your kids know they can ask for help or tell you that the type of learning they’re facing isn’t working for them and that it’s ok to admit that.

Brooke tells about the things that actually bring joy to your kids, such as working on their talents, learning, and relationships with their friends instead of playing video games or watching TV all day. We discuss words and how much your children’s words can affect the people around them, and then we can also take this same lesson and apply it to ourselves.

Or we can also dig in and become lifelong learners. We can figure out what works best for one child and kind of really push that type of education for them.” 5:18
