“We’re not going into this thing saying we know it all. We’re going into it, willing to learn right alongside our kids.”
“As moms [and] parents, we’re always teaching our kids. We just don’t think about it. … It’s natural for us to teach our kids.”
“We’ve just become so narrow in our view of what education actually is. And so, to have the freedom to be able to do it in a way that works for your family, for your kids, is just really important if you’re going to do this for the long haul.”
