120. Raising Hardworking Kids | Jill Winger of The Prairie Homestead
I don\u2019t often discuss parenting on this podcast, but when I read Jill Winger\u2019s blog post on how she gets her kids involved on her homestead, I knew I had to bring her on to talk about this topic.\xa0 Jill began homesteading before she became a mother, so her three children have always known this way of life.\xa0 Jill and I discuss how we accomplish homesteading tasks with babies and toddlers underfoot, how we begin getting our children involved around the homestead, and why it\u2019s important to give our children the gift of hard work.\xa0 If you want to instill the values of hard work and creativity into your children, may this episode give you inspiration along the way.\n\nIn this episode, we cover:\n\n\n An old-fashioned philosophy of parenting\n\n How kids of different ages can help around a homestead\n\n Instilling a strong work ethic in your children\n\n How homeschooling can build character\n\n Making space for kids to explore their passions\n\n The advantage of letting our kids experience failure\n\n How we approach chores\n\n\nClick here to listen to part one of this conversation on Jill's podcast or click here to watch on YouTube.\n\nGUEST BIOGRAPHY\n\nJill is the founder of The Prairie Homestead, an online space with over one million monthly visits dedicated to helping people learn how to grow their own food and opt out of the rat race, regardless of where they live.
