As parents navigating work, life, and daily responsibilities, it’s easy to focus on choosing the “right” educational path. But what if the real question is: What does my child truly need right now?  In this episode, our host Ee Jay speaks with Galvin and Charmaine, parents of two, who share their journey of leaving full-time jobs to homeschool and start a business. They open up about the financial and lifestyle shifts and how involving their children in the process helped turn sacrifice into shared purpose. It’s a gentle reminder that creating space for our children’s well-being starts with how we care for ourselves and the choices we make as a family. Together, we explore how parenting is not just about making decisions—but about creating space for emotional and mental well-being, and reframing choices around what works best for each child in each season. --Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.
