Ben Greenfield discusses homeschooling routines that prioritize kids' emotional health. The approach includes daily check-ins asking "How's your heart? Are you okay?" and creating space for children to express feelings freely, rather than running a rigid classroom.
Four out of the five weekdays.
So for me, when I come. Come into the homeschool room with them, because we are usually schooling, like, four, four out of the five weekdays. I'll just ask them how they're doing. How are you guys? How's your heart? Are you okay? Are you having a good day today? And most of the time they're fine, but sometimes they're like, no, I'm upset, really. We treat our kids like they're, you know, like they're human beings. So we really prioritize the. Their emotional health as well.
One element of that is that.
We'Ve seen parenting where it's very dictatorial, and we try to create an environment where they're able to communicate to us freely around their emotions.
