Home Education Strategies For Raising Resilient Children with Katie Wells

How can you enhance your child’s education to meet the unknown demands of their future?

In our rapidly changing world, it can be difficult to find education that will serve your children’s needs as they grow towards adulthood. Very few of the options take into account what children might encounter once they leave school. So, how do you find resources to develop your child’s ability to learn rapidly, adapt quickly, stay curious, and excel at problem solving?

I’m excited to have Katie Wells on the show today. She’s Founder of Wellness Mama, mom of six, and a best-selling author. Her background in research, journalism, and nutrition has made her a powerful ally in education empowerment.

Our education system focuses too much on what to learn rather than how to learn. That means it often hinders the growth and development that will serve your child’s future best. If you’re looking for a better approach to enhance your child’s education from your home, this episode is for you.

If you’re inspired, I want to invite you to join me in my brand NEW 10-day course, specifically designed to boost your productivity. I know it sounds too good to be true, but I give you step-by-step guides using the accelerated learning model to help you get more done and achieve your goals.
