Moms don't generally want to lose control of their mouths, but sometimes the chaos of parenting and homeschooling can cause a mom to blow her top. And then what?
Join us as we get into the nitty gritty and share our own struggles with yelling, shaming a child, and other forms of parental frustration. What then? How can we learn to control our tongues and speak life to our kids?

We talk often of sex education for kids and having "the talk", but what about us? What about parents who enter marriage ill-prepared or who don't know how to communicate their sexual needs and desires to each other?
This episode was inspired by a Homeschooling in Real Life listener who wrote to tell us that they didn't communicate beyond "don't do it" to their daughter and she became pregnant at 16, but that the underlying issue was their own lack of communication and sex ed for themselves. Join us and authors Barrett and Jenifer Johnson for a candid discussion on sex ed for parents.
