Join Dr. Kathy Koch and Zan as they discuss why character training is so important in the lives of our children. As Dr. Kathy says, “Character matters, and it determines destiny.” At the basis of character training is the commitment to know our children, to study them–and understand what their strengths and weaknesses are, what makes them feel alive and what discourages them. Kids have to feel known. They have to feel visible and acknowledged in our space for who they are. It's so significant. This is the bedrock of excellent parenting–and excellent parenting leads to excellent homeschooling. You're sure to be encouraged by this uplifting conversation!SHOW NOTEShttps://zantyler.com/podcast/070-kathy-koch (https://zantyler.com/podcast/070-kathy-koch)LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBEJoin Zan Tyler and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZjfXnWApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3QmTyC3Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3vLipG2CONNECT WITH ZAN & FOLLOW HER ON SOCIALWebsite: https://zantyler.com/podcast (https://zantyler.com/podcast)Instagram: https://instagram.com/zan_tyler_podcast (https://instagram.com/zan_tyler_podcast)Facebook: https://facebook.com/ZanTylerHomeschool (https://facebook.com/ZanTylerHomeschool)TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@thezantylerpodcast (https://tiktok.com/@thezantylerpodcast)Homeschooling and Character Training Go Hand-in-Hand | Dr. Kathy Koch | Ep. 070
