Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina and Donna talk about homeschooling with a twist- homeschooling and grandkids. Gina and Donna, both retired homeschoolers, have seen a trend in homeschooling of grandparents being a big part of their grandchildren’s educational journey. They share their own experiences and philosophies as well as ways that grandparents can create an educational environment for their grandchildren. These ideas can also be used to build the love of learning with nieces, nephews, or any other child you have the privilege to care for. Join in on this enlightening and inspiring conversation about creating a love of learning in the lives of the children in your life.
