Jenn Dean, Family Coach & Podcaster at Families Matter Most

Jenn & I discuss:

  • How to homeschool a kiddo with a sensory processing disorder.
  • The most important thing in homeschooling: character development.
  • How to build self-awareness and strategies when kids are fighting or upset.
  • How to deal with my triggers when my kids are fighting or upset.
  • How we can deal without anxiety and dysregulation.
  • What a possible source of procrastination might be in your world.
  • What is the difference between fear and excitement?

Jenn encourages homeschool parents:

  • Put your kids’ reactions into perspective and respond neutrally.
  • Don’t get on the rollercoaster of your kids’ big emotions.
  • Cue your kids when you’re not in a great space.
  • Understand that sometimes under our kids’ procrastination, they may just be feeling anxious.
  • Get more comfortable with emotions that you’re not really comfortable with because you’ll relate better with the kids who aren’t like you.
