Description

When your child shuts down and says, “I can’t do this,” it can feel like all your effort as a homeschool mom just hit a wall.

In this Q&A episode, Natalie Burns talks about what’s really going on in those moments, why your usual strategies (like taking breaks) don’t always work, and how to respond in a way that builds resilience instead of resistance.

Learn what to say, what to stop doing, and how to create calm connection so learning feels safe again.
