obedience, real life questions part two

make joy normal: cozy homeschooling

Another supplementary episode!
Christina brings more obedience questions from our listeners to the table, and it gets sketchy. We talk about bedtime: routines, dealing with fear, kids in bed, and, yup, martial intimacy. It’s not homeschooling, but, hey…you can’t really separate sexuality from the rest of family life. We talk about the historical aspect of bedtime and sleep. And I personally have concluded that bedtime would have been so much easier before electricity when we all went to bed at the same time…

We also talk about encouraging other adults that you have given your child over to for care. When we contract out their care to others, for a date night or school or our regular job, what are the considerations?

To wrap up, we talk about toddlers…oh the glorious, impulse driven toddlers…we cover a few different situations that are typical toddler.
