In this episode, we reframe one of the biggest challenges homeschool parents face: managing multiple kids of different ages at the same time.

Instead of seeing it as a hurdle, you’ll discover why having multiple children is actually a hidden superpower—rooted in Montessori philosophy, evolutionary anthropology, and backed by modern research.

From creating shared spaces to balancing individual needs, you’ll leave with practical, heart-centered strategies to transform chaos into connection.
